Hi all, I'm currently writing an Apache module (Apache 1.3.27) for virtual masshosting based on a SQL backend (currently MySQL later on PostgreSQL). Therefore I'm searching for information about the differences between requests (request_rec) and servers (server_rec).
Can anybody tell me the lifetime of a request or a server record? As far as I understand the used terminology, a request record handles all requests made by a user when navigating to a specific URL. If that's right it would mean that all calls made to my translate- handler for such a session access the same pool inside the request record but if I navigate to another domain on the same server it would be a different request with its own new pool, wouldn't it? I need this information for implementing some kind of caching. I really don't want to query my database for each "stupid" file or image the user requests. It would be very nice if you could explain me the difference or if someone could give me a link to a more detailed documentation. Thanks in advance, best regards sebastian
