Hello, There are a few features I’d like to use from apache
2.0 modules, and after researching on the web plus browsing through the apache
2.0 source code, it would seem that these types of features are not implemented,
or I am missing something. The reason I bring this up here, is because I would
love to contribute these features if the core development group is interested. I would like the ability to create a socket, and add it to the
main poll set while supplying a socket handler, and flags such as APR_POLLIN and
APR_POLLOUT: If I ask for either one, once one is available, my socket handler would
be called with the new event flags. This would allow me, as a module writer, to
open up and maintain a socket asynchronously. The main use for this is the ability to manipulate
and fetch real time data from my module. The other feature I felt would be very useful, would be some
sort of scheduler: Where, in my module, I can say “Hey, run this routine in
5 seconds….” I have tons of experience in implementing the above two features
for several other personal projects of mine, and have found that they would be very
useful in apache. Is there anything
like this already implemented, or would there be any interest if I were to implement
it inside apache? -Pw |
