yes, I've decided to try the easy way first and have added

    #define CORE_PRIVATE
    #include <http_core.h>

and

    apr_socket_t *socket = ap_get_module_config(conn->conn_config,
&core_module);
    apr_size_t len = strlen(POLICY);
    apr_socket_send(socket, POLICY, &len);

to my module (full source at the bottom of the mail).
And I have appended the following to httpd.conf:

    LoadModule socket_policy_module modules/mod_socket_policy.so
    Listen 843
    <VirtualHost _default_:843>
        SetHandler socket_policy
    </VirtualHost>

And can see

tcp        0      0 :::843                      :::*
     LISTEN

and can get my string by "telnet localhost 843" and pressing ENTER.

But this has broken my web server - it serves that string
now over port 80 as well - for any request I do.

Is the easy solution _that_ evil? :-)

And how does mod_perl 2 succeeds the same task,
because my mod_perl module works ok?

I have read about BB, but haven't understood them yet
and I don't understand how to use them in my case.
