I think where stas is headed are cases like ryan's mod_apachecon http://rkbloom.net/rbb/mod_apachecon.c which seems to be to be a valid example - you want to manipulate part of the HTTP request, such as the request line or incoming headers, and post-read is too late. but simply scaning input for GET .* HTTP/1.0 isn't sufficient, since it's not foolproof, so it would be nice to have something that signaled the start of a request. --Geoff
