I'm writing a module where I need the ability to make HTTP requests to servers on my backend for business logic. Just to get my code working, I wrote a very simple HTTP client library but it only handles basic HTTP/1.0 requests and only checks for return codes 200 and 404. I'd like to use a better codebase for making my requests, but am not sure what my options are. I looked to see if I could abuse the mod_proxy code, but I don't think it was meant to be used this way and don't want my code to break due to changes upstream. I was thinking about using cURL, but that would add another dependency to my code.
Is there a proper/defined way to use mod_proxy for this, or should I just move forward with cURL? Thanks! -- Michael Spiegle m...@nauticaltech.com
