Perrin,
I think this is a nice summary of libapreq2 Joe just posted that can be included in the PR as an incentive to upgrade to mp2.

It's designed to be usable for all GET / POST data. The Content-Types it currently understands are
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
multipart/form-data
multipart/relatedThe first two are what HTML forms typically use, but we've also laid enough groundwork within libapreq2 to support newer specs like XForms and WHATWG once browsers start implementing them. libapreq2 provides a C API to extend/modify the parser list, so you can even extend it yourself if apreq-dev@ isn't extending it fast enough for you.
> I mean, what's the intention of libapreq to be?
libapreq2 is intended to provide a common request parsing library for all apache2 modules (not just a "faster CGI.pm"). There are already a few C modules (mod_spin is a nice example) that use libapreq2. The upshot is that such modules will all share the *parsed* POST data, without stealing the *raw* POST data from other modules.
