I have a patch (based on 2.2.17) to where should I submit it? ________________________________ From: Graham Leggett [mailto:minf...@sharp.fm] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 2:23 PM To: dev@httpd.apache.org Cc: Anatoli Tubman; Ethan Schorer Subject: Re: ap_regexec API for buffers (not NULL terminated strings)

I'm working in filter context and want to run regular expression on bucket content (so I have the buffer length). Currently I had to copy the bucket content and add the NULL at the end before passing it to ap_regexec (this is a waste of CPU and memory). The underling PCRE engine support getting the length of the input string (actually ap_regexec just run strlen on the string and pass the result to pcre_exec) Can you consider adding API for this? (Of course it will get the input length as argument) Similar request (from 2002) could be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@httpd.apache.org/msg12986.html but without any reply. Sounds like a sensible thing to have. Is there a patch for this anywhere that we can take a look at, or is this just a suggestion at this point?
