Hi everyone,
I was just looking at the mod_http2 sources, and wondered why are only the
following few functions of mod_http2 exposed to the outer world?
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_is_h2);
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_var_lookup);
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_req_engine_push);
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_req_engine_pull);
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_req_engine_done);
APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN(http2_get_num_workers);
I was expecting to see some more functions being publicly accessible,
especially for creating new h2 streams programmatically by other modules. Is
there a reason why those functions are not exported?
The reason for asking: I was considering to make some of the core h2 features
available through Python or PHP i.e. for dynamically creating server pushes in
webapps (beyond of what's currently possible with adding link headers). I know
that such a use case is against what http2 is commonly advertised for, but
having h2 features directly available on webapp level, would significantly
reduce complexity and development time for a large scale of web apps.
Best regards,
