In doing a bit of performance tweaking on 1.3, I noticed that
ap_send_header_field() does an ap_rvputs() with each little piece of a
header which results in separate ap_bwrite() calls for "Primitive", ":",
"Value", "crlf" for each header line sent. Rather than having these 1 and
2 character ap_bwrite() calls wouldn't it make more sense to ap_pstrcat()
these little bits together and do a single ap_bputs()?
Trivial patch follows:
