Yes, that's a much better example. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. Whether it's the byterange filter or just some filter that similarly wants to "fast-forward" to a certain predetermined location in the stream (or, conversely, to take say the first 100 bytes and ditch the rest, like some kind of "preview" filter or something), I can very easily see ap_brigade_split_offset being a useful utility function. > This is now apr-util, so it should be something generally useful outside of > the > server for other bucket brigade apps. +1. I'm going to go ahead with a patch to do as I proposed before (change from split_any to brigade_split and delete copy_any). We can debate it further later, of course, since Ryan and Greg are out of pocket at the moment... --Cliff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
