we have a requirement to pass content generated during a request to an external
application. after researching the APR API, reading up on the Apache module
architecture and through the help of this group we've decided to use sockets
within each child process. with that said can anyone see a problem with this
implementation in regards to the child process life cycle?
brief overview
- Apache running in prefork
- ap_hook_child_init initializes socket specific child process and registers
pool cleanup for socket's associated memory pool where socket is closed
- ap_hook_handler will be responsible for writing to the socket
