I use both, but find my self using hooks more and more. A good example is the discussion around having stacked providers in mod_cache. If it were a hook, you'd already have that... Providers are good when you will have one, and only one, "thing" that needs to munge/manipulate/compute like database stuff. With the proxy stuff, it looks like we want "n" things to be able to manipulate the data. Once you make the leap from 1 to 2, might as well make it a hook. -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
