Hi again, > The thread was titled "ModMapServer?" and started on March 13:
Jupp, found it - quickly searched for "Apache" first :) > I don't know what Apache expects exactly, but I think it would be > reasonable to create a new msReturnHTTPHeaders() function that would > replace all those printf's for the headers For a first try we could even set a macro in mapio.h which defines something like msIO_setContentType(type) to msIO_fprintf or request_rec->content_type=type depending whether we build for CGI or Apache module. > The FastCGI code should already handle that kind of stuff > With respect to keeping database connections opened, the PROCESSING > "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER" directive already does that Well, that are good news since it saves a lot of expensive modifications. I used that option already but was not sure if they are only kept open for a single request (just to handle multiple layers from one datasource) or would stay open till shutdown... > Well, your patch doesn't have to be final before you share it publicly. > I'm already swamped with stuff ... > there are a few people who > expressed interest in this feature on the list and that would work out > the issues with you much quicker than myself OK, too late - already sent it to you yesterday, sorry :) I will register myself and open a ticket with that patch appended as you suggested. I didn't want to blow too much dust in the wind and fool those people. I propably should put a big fat warning in the ticket. Since this is the users-list the only remaining question is: should be something posted to the devel list or is issueing the ticket enough? _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
