it is not meant to _replace_ send_fd, re-read what i said: "interface ... just for sending files" > APR is breaking backwards compatibility with apache-1.3.x, though my > questions regarding this and other back compat issues go unanswered at > the apr-dev list :( it is ok for Apache and APR to break backwards compat. it is not possible for any 1.3 based C module to run with apache-2.0 without changes. it is possible for a modperl 1.x based Perl module to run with modperl-2.0 without changes, which is what i'm trying to maintain. > Do you say that compat.pm's send_fd version is the best we can offer as > a replacement for the one in 1.x? It's not as fast as it used to be. not at all, compat.pm's send_fd is only intended for compat, which is why it lives in compat.pm. performance can come later. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
