I have a problem with the bundled PCRE that I am not sure how to resolve. Basically, in a module I need to access more functionality than provided by the Apache PCRE wrapper. (More specifically, I need to perform matching against strings that are not NULL-terminated.) I can do this if I have the Apache source code around, simply by using the PCRE headers that are in the source tree. But I can't do that when there is no source code since the PCRE headers are not available. Is there a smart way around this? Am I missing anything?
Is there a reason for not including the PCRE headers in the /include/ directory of the Apache installation? I'd be happy to submit a patch that makes more functionality available through the wrapper but that is not going to solve my short-term problems. (And I also think it makes more sense to make the wrapper, if it is going to be full-featured, part of APR, or APR-UTIL.) -- Ivan Ristic, Technical Director Thinking Stone, http://www.thinkingstone.com ModSecurity: Open source Web Application Firewall
