Speaking as someone not at all involved in development of any Apache products, I'd say it seems awfully premature to really be thinking too hard about that. It looks like an interesting protocol, but it's still just a research project, right? Even once the protocol is "finalized" at Google, we'll have to see how it faces up to the IETF: without a recommendation on their part, I'd be very surprised if it goes anywhere at all. That said, if it does start going anywhere promising, it probably would be a good thing to support in Apache. One day, HTTP may go the way of the Gopher. Hey, maybe Google could provide some funding and/or other partnership benefits to the Apache Foundation in order to speed up adoption of their pet protocol. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
