I put out a call on Twitter regarding this, but wanted to close the loop here as well. What would *you* like to see as new features or enhancements w/ mod_proxy, esp reverse proxy. I was thinking about some sort of active backend monitoring, utilizing watchdog, which could also maybe, eventually,

An async mod_proxy backend would be huge for my workloads. In the JEE space I deal with, much more time is spent waiting on the application backends then with the clients, especially now that we have the event mpm. Something like this would allow me to drastically reduce thread counts and

Thx! assuming slow backends, how would you like httpd to handle it: should it just slurp in the data from the backend and buffer it and send it to the client all in one go? Should it instead forward data as soon as it gets it? > On Dec 3, 2015, at 12:36 PM, Houser, Rick
