Hi all,

Can I configure Apache to serve webpages using UDP as transport protocol.

I see some code in srclib/apr/network_io/unix to make UDP

I don't know the answer to your question but I suspect it is very likely "no". Even though I believe the RFC specifying the HTTP protocol does mention that it could be implemented on UDP. AFAIK, all practical implementations of HTTP have been over TCP and not UDP.

HTTP could very well work on UDP but all of the browsers I know about expect it to function on TCP. So serving it via UDP is pointless if you have no client that will accept HTTP over UDP.
