So I am wondering wouldn't it be better to call ap_run_sub_req(subreq) to put out the response instead of that hack? I am trying to understand why ap_internal_fast_redirect is necessary at all?
It's legacy crap that should be evicted from httpd-trunk, I'll do so sometime in July depending on vacations and such. You'll be able to review the patches to mod_dir and mod_negotiation and decide, should we actually push these into 2.2. The answer though is probably -no-. Module authors have developed their modules around these quirky behaviors, so changing in 2.2 may substantially break third party extensions. Because of our ABI contracts, we try not to do such things (fcgid on win32 being an obvious but necessary exception). Bill
