Hooking the cleanups to the connection pool may be a little too late for some modules (Example SSL shutdown/SSL Alert). For filters like SSL, the EOC logic would probably be just fine - I can't think of other filters which cannot use the EOC logic. I thought having a finish_connection hook is logical and more intutive - especially since we have the pre_connection/process_connection hooks already. But my sense of logic may not be Apache's logic :) I'd like to understand what's the inhibition/limitation for adding a new hook - IOW, why are buckets like EOC preferable over a finish_connection hook ? I can guess it's something to do with the performance - but a detailed explaination/pointer to something would be helpful. Thanks, -Madhu
