It is a different product. If it were changed so that it could be meaningfully documented as part of the HTTP server, then I'd suggest it be moved to trunk too. > This isn't an ajp or scgi or fastcgi server > either, it's an http server, which means we should pull out those interfaces? Those are all gateway interfaces *used* by an HTTP server to communicate with a backend. If we had a better way to ship modular code, like CPAN or gem, they wouldn't be part of our core product. But we don't, so they are (or should be). ....Roy
