Hi Apache users!
A while ago there was an interesting discussion on the dev@ mailing list
about the adoption percentage of httpd 2.2 vs 2.4, and I was wondering
if the people that have not upgraded yet have suggestion about whether
or not the documentation needs any improvement to facilitate the process.
The 2.4 release is the only one actively developed and it offers tons of
new features compared to 2.2, among them:
- HTTP/2 support (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_http2.html)
- <If>/<Else> directives (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#if)
- lua scripts support (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_lua.html)
- most up to date version of the event mpm
(https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/event.html)
- most up to date version of mod_ssl
- a lot of bug fixes!
I understand that a lot of you have complex and difficult environments
to migrate, but it would be great to extend the 2.4 release as much as
possible. Are there any gap in documentation or anything else that we
can help with to ease the process?
Let me know!
Luca
Thank you for the effort.
A business I am a customer of runs 1.x on all their web servers and I
have been trying to get them to update to 2.x for years.
When they use TLS it is ben-ssl with export ciphers and I *finally* got
them to turn off all the dangerous ciphers and only allow tls 1.0 but
the excuse they keep giving me is "our hosting company says the version
we have is secure"
I don't understand how a version that hasn't received upstream updates
for years can be considered "secure" - lazy hosting company.
I would love to see better 2.4.x adoption, especially now that it
supports HTTP/2.
