Aymerick: I am wondering why you want to support UDP in apache... I see you mention discussions in Aug/Sept.. that i missed.. I will hvae to go dig in the archive..
My take on UDP is it is very very dangerous to enable http over UDP.. if UDP were every had a wide scale deployment the internet itself could easily get to a state of congestion collapse. Especially considering that most traffic IS http (around 70% last I heard). Is there some special purpose for this that you want to use it? Thanks R Aymerick J�hanne wrote:
I want to add UDP Support to Apache, and i can see that I'm not the only one (there were already discussions about it in August and September on this list). Ok, but before starting to code, I want be sure to understand the "Protocol Modules" logic. For example, if I want HTTP, Echo and POP3, here is an example of httpd.conf: Listen 7 Listen 80 Listen 110 <VirtualHost *:110> POP3protocol on ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:7> ProtocolEcho on ... </VirtualHost> But now, if I want to serve HTTP, HTTPU, Echo, UDP Echo, and POP3, I need something like that (with a new directive ListenUDP to setup UDP Listening Sockets) : Listen 7 ListenUDP 7 Listen 80 ListenUDP 80 Listen 110 <VirtualHost *:110> POP3protocol on ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:7> ProtocolEcho on ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:7(UDP ???)> ProtocolEcho on ... </VirtualHost> Ok, now i need your opinion: "Is this logic ok ?". And if so, we will need to improve <VirtualHost> syntax to specify the port type. If you are ok with this, I'll start coding this stuff...
