Um, could you please explain that bit about te need to remove filter-init from the API? That hook plays a pivotal role in libapreq2's input filter mod_apreq. mod_apreq needs to examine the entire input filter stack and modify it under certain conditions. This cannot be done in-flight, during ap_get_brigade. -- Joe Schaefer
