Howdy, I have a question in the same vein as my last post. Can I rely on ap_get_brigade(mode=AP_MODE_READBYTES, len=X) to return a brigade of length no greater than X? It would appear not, which means I need to be prepared to set aside extra bytes... But I thought this was exactly what the supplying filter was supposed to do! Confirmation requested.
A filter could hypothetically ignore AP_MODE_READBYTES's len parameter and return more. But, none of the current filters in our core do this - they will return at most X bytes. I believe we take the position if a filter returns more than X in this case, it is broken. So, it should be a good assumption to make. -- justin
