To clarify some issues here: 1) There is *unofficial*, *unmaintained* support for UDP for unix/prefork systems using the patches submitted on the dev list last week. I highly doubt that those patches will make it into an official release before 2.6 or 3.0, but I've personally used them already, and it would be great if someone else with a need for UDP gave it a try and give feedback. I'd be happy to help you apply and compile (contact me off-list if you want to take me up on the offer) 2) There are several things which certainly justify the use of HTTP over UDP. First being streaming content, as Yogsothoth pointed out. A second being protocols other than HTTP (which Apache 2.0 was intentionally designed to support). I personally have a DNS protocol module, which definitely needs UDP to work with clients out-of-the-box 3) Bear in mind that Dragon is still correct in that you need to make sure that your client supports UDP for this to really be useful; most, if not all, probably don't (but it's worth looking - it certainly makes sense for streaming media players to have) Issac --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
