>Description:
I develop couple of modules for Apache and need to keep some module specific
information on per-connection basis. Well, because nature of some data is
per-connection. SSL client certificate is probably best example:-) This
placeholder can also be used as a cache. I for example cache UNIX credentials
in my getpwnam based authentication module (see
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/apache/
if you get curious) on per-connection basis assuming reference to UNIX
accounting system being expensive...
