there's a mention of it in the APR::Bucket manpage. i couldn't find anything else aside from a thread on dev@httpd.apache.org: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@httpd.apache.org/msg22884.html and something else i wrote to this list asking about it. it's been labeled ! since its initial revision in svn though, apparently. perhaps dougm could shed some light? i came across the function via http://www.outoforder.cc/projects/apache/mod_transform/ , where the author uses it to retrieve arbitrary output from what may or may not actually be a file on the filesystem. i've been using it to do things like feeding subversion PROPFIND responses into xslt processors. .dorian
