from a cursory glance at mod_request and apreq, it seems that
mod_request offers a subset of the functionality of apreq. Graham, is
that correct?
If we aim for inclusion of apreq some time in 2.4.x, it may be a good
idea to not add another API for the same thing. Maybe we could
document that mod_request is already deprecated?
Removing it now would be a shame because mod_auth_form depends on it.
I think the addition of apreq is a lot more work than people realise.
There is a lot of duplicated code across the server, and I think a
target for v2.6 should be to consolidate and remove the duplicated
code, and depend on apreq properly. This will take a while to do, and
will probably involve changes to the apreq API along the way.
Warning users that mod_request will be consolidated with apreq in
future is a good idea.
