Re: Bandwidth Limit on Windows

[Bill Stoddard]

My thinking on how to solve this has changed over the past year or so... 
there are numerous ways to DoS an httpd server and you can't protect 
against the more effective attacks at the httpd layer. 

I forgot the punch line here but hopefully it's obvious where I'm heading...  apr_sendfile on windows performs 
badly because of a misguided attempt at mitigating a particular DoS attack against the server and the cure is 
worse than the disease.  We should change apr_sendfile to perform optimally on Windows w/o concern for httpd 
level DoS attacks.
