Howdy,

I still watch the list but haven't had time to dig into the code in a long time 
-- maybe later this summer :)

Anyway, these connection filters are a bit confusing and not well documented -- 
my fault.   Here I think it's ok to not call the filters again but it could go 
either way.  If you update the code, you could make it configurable, default 
current behavior, to avoid breaking something that assumed the old behavior.  
In practice I don't think these filters were used very much -- I can only 
recall the access log modules and one other use in some obscure AOL internal 
module from years ago.
