FWIW, flood in httpd-test already has 80% of what Sander suggested.
The major thing it is missing is bucket/brigade/filters - which is
why I'm getting pissy about the API change because I want to move
flood to this. (It is also missing chunking and pipelining which I
was working on when I got interrupted when I saw how httpd handles
it and started to rewrite the input filtering.)
The one thing I would change in Sander's proposal is that I detest
callbacks. And, I think the API would need to be a bit more
formal. And, the build process cleaned up. And, more testing.
Yadda, yadda, yadda.
And, in discussions with Roy, I think he was thinking a client
library should be a part of httpd not APR. But, I don't care
one way or another. -- justin
