Fwd: Document on developing modules for 2.4 and onwards
As per Igor's advice, I'm forwarding this message to the dev@ and modules-dev@ lists as well: Hello all httpd document lovers, As per our nifty little STATUS document, it came to my attention that we were missing an introductory segment on how to develop simple modules for httpd 2.4, so I took the liberty of drawing up a proposal for what we could put in place for this request. The draft is located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/modguide.html and I would much appreciate it if you guys could give me some feedback on whether this will fit in as an, at least for the time being, appropriate document to describe how to develop modules for the server. I plan to expand on the subject, probably add another 10 pages or so, during the summer, as well as letting it into the 2.4 fold, provided I get positive feedback from this mailing list. So, please do read the document and tell me what you think :) Any suggestions, critique etc you might have will be warmly accepted. With regards, Daniel.

More comments: first, it might be a matter of style (or good habbits) but i think you should cast void pointers to the correct type in your code. So: example_config* base = BASE ; should be: example_config* base = (example_config*) BASE ; A real bug? strcpy(conf-path, strlen(add-path) ? add-path : base-path); Don't you mean strncpy here? BTW, 'char path[256];' is pretty dangerous, there are OS/Compiler constants that provide the operating sytem's max path length. Cheers, RalfD

Hi Daniel, The draft is already a great document and very useful for Httpd application developers. And I think it could be more helpful if it provides some guidelines for updating modules from 2.2.x to 2.4.x, or some way to use the new 2.4 features.

Just a small bug: in your example on configuration setting, in the function 'example_create_dir_conf(...)' your code returns 'dir' which isn't declared in function scope. Shouldn't this read 'return cfg;' ??? Cheers, Ralf Mattes Yes, of course it should - fixed, thanks! :) As per the strcpy, it's really not a concern, since the path isn't a file path per se, but instead gets to hold one of two values; Merged configuration or Newly created configuration at this point. But I should probably look at casting properly, yeah, so I'll go fix that next. With regards, Daniel.
