Thanks Jeff, this is exactly what I am talking about!
I see that there are some patches out that purport to fix this. Does
anybody know if those work and if they are ever going to get merged
since pcre is defunct?
I saw references to some pcre backports on a httpd mailing list last
week (I think dev, but I wouldn’t swear to it). I’m not sure if those
were related or not.
Hi,
PCRE2 has been added in trunk some time ago.
It has never reached the 2.4.x branch so far because of a performance
issue related to memory allocation.
The backport to 2.4.x has re-surfaced a few weeks or months ago and some
proposals to workaround the performance issue have also been proposed.
A backport for 2.4.x has been voted, but not merged yet.
A set of patches have been merged in trunk for the performance issue.
AFAIK some testing on Windows would be welcomed.
So, yes, PCRE2 *should* be usable with the next version oh httpd, even
if some performance tuning are merged later on.
