Log:
First try to put togother an external health checker for mod_proxy.
Just coming back from OSCON, I haven't had a chance to take
a deeper look but MAN that's a lot of code and data duplication.
What's the goal for the code? What's the push for an
external health checker?
I see different reasons to have an external health checker:
- It does not need a request to start.
- It tests the back-end server not only the socket used to send the data.
- It allows to have the information that a worker is down before send a
request to it (prevent useless retries).
