Puhh.. this evening I've comitted the new alternative Shared Memory based SSL Session Cache. It works now fine for me, but need more testing by the users. It's now in the CVS, so it would be fine when some of you (especially those who are interested in a high-performance shared memory based session cache) can grab the latest mod_ssl snapshot and try out the new "SSLSessionCache shm:/path/to/file/(bytes)" feature. For this grab: ftp://ftp.modssl.org/snapshot/mod_ssl-SNAP-19990604.tar.gz For those who still don't know the background: The shared memory based session cache uses a very fast hash table library to implement a cache inside a shared memory segment (provided by the MM library). This way no disk I/O (as for DBM) or additional socket communication (as for gcache) is needed for the cache operations. The result is a slightly speeded up handshake processing. But the main advantage is that the session cache this way should be even more robust because we no longer rely on the filesystem or external processes. Greetings, Ralf S.
