Actually, the last patch I sent contains one snag I'm still working on. It breaks the core's connection configuration structure, which gets attached to c->conn_config. However, I think I can get around that by using an optional function. As the matter of fact, I'm working on it right now. > I also wish that %b would be fixed in a similar manner but I haven't seen > any patches for that (or comments about it).

I agree with you on this one as well. But at this point I'm unsure how to fix this one. > Since I depend on correct outgoing byte count logging to see how many people > sucessfully download files, I can live with broken pipelining for now in > 2.0, currently I've had to roll back to Apache 1.3 and put in 3 times as > many machines (12 instead of 4)....

Glad to hear Apache 2.0 makes a huge performance difference. Not so glad to hear you had to resort to going back to 1.3. The only thing I can promise is a patch using optional function (this should guarantee compatibility of core between 43 and 44 and no MMN bump) during the day (Sydney time). It's up to the committers to review and, if they like, commit. Bojan PS. By the number of messages on the list I'm guessing committers must be rather busy on their real jobs these days. Unfortunately there is no way of speeding things up, given this is volunteer effort. Unless, of course, you decide to bribe some of them ;-)
