hi all...
I'm thinking about opening up ap_hook_http_method and
ap_hook_default_port to Perl, but I want to make sure that I'm getting their
use right.
I see how ap_http_method and ap_default_port are used in the code. what
is a bit confusing is the name 'ap_http_method' - it would seem that
ap_default_scheme would be a better name, as it represents the default
scheme for a URI, which is not necessarily HTTP if the server is being used
to serve a different protocol.
is there some history with the name that somebody could share?
what I'm picturing in the mod_perl world is a PerlDefaultPortHandler and
a PerlDefaultSchemeHandler, both of which would be used to set the proper
fallback port and scheme when the server is being used for something other
than HTTP.
but if 'ap_http_method' isn't a misnomer, it would indicate that these
really aren't the protocol-related hooks they appear (to me) to be. am I on
the right track?
