With the approach of httpd 2.1-beta (in anticipation of 2.2 GA) I'd like to propose the httpd project integrate apreq into the core distribution. This project has evolved considerably since it was first considered.
Comment or vote?
In general, I'm not really comfortable with adding a large amount of perl code to our tree. httpd is a C project not a perl project - I'm not overjoyed at the prospect of having to maintain perl code. I, of course, am from the camp that anything in our tree I am collectively responsible for.
Additionally, I think merging apreq should be something for 2.4 not 2.2. Adding it right *now* would cause a lot of delays. For example, from a quick glance, they use automake - which is a big no-no. So, it'd take a lot of effort to get it integrated in our build system. I really think that effort would best be placed in getting a solid 2.2 release out sooner.
If there is still a lot of interest, this can be something we merge in right after we branch 2.2.x off into 2.3.x. And can be an impetus for 2.4.x's release.
So, -0 in concept. And, -1 for doing it today - it's not in a state that can just slide into our tree at all without issues. -- justin
