Log:
Add a new mod_proxy_fdpass module to pass a client connection off
to a separate daemon.
So, this module right now is pretty simple.
It passes the client socket over a unix daemon socket to another
process, and then sticks a dummy socket back into the core, so it
doesn't close the one we passed over.
In later revisions, I've made the flushing function into a provider,
so if you want to do something tricky, like setting a custom content
type or sending some kind of header before handing the client off to
the other process, you can.
Right now, it does _not_ try to pass any of the parsed information
about the request over the socket. I think it might be good to make
this another provider interface, with a standard one that passes the
http headers, ala what the perchild MPM can do.
Here is an example python script that can act as a server for this:
http://people.apache.org/~pquerna/fdrecv.py
Run it:
$ python fdrecv.py -p /tmp/helloworld
And in your config file:
ProxyPass /test fd:///tmp/helloworld
Comments :-) ?
v. neat...
