May be we should take this further and make Apache::Server what Apache::
is used to be: i.e., just the httpd accessors. And create
Apache::ServerRec similar to Apache::RequestRec which will give the
access to $s?
Same with ConnRec?
I was going to suggest the same thing to one of Perrin's comments, so +1 on
A::ServerRec and A::ConnRec in place of A::Server and A::Connection.
It does sound like a good and logical change to me too...
Obviously we need to wait a bit with changing everything and sleep on it
for some time.
agreed :)
So, we need to complete this API renaming. 1.99_13 can't be released with half changed API. At the moment Apache::Server namespace contains functions operating on $s instances and global accessors to the Apache server, which is incorrect.
Looks like Apache::ServerRec was agreed upon.
Now we also need to agree whether we do the same change for Connection: i.e.
Apache::ConnRec or Apache::ConnectionRec?
Since we fully spell RequestRec, FilterRec, and ServerRec, I think I like to fully spell ConnectionRec, i.e. my choice is Apache::ConnectionRec.
I also have an alternative solution, more compatible with mp1 and requiring far less changes.
- revert the Apache:: -> Apache::Server:: changes - redo them into Apache:: -> Apache::Program:: (of course shortcutting it to be Apache::Server:: -> Apache::Server::)
So all functions that alter or read the state of the Apache *program* will live in their own space. This is really the same as Apache::, but less confusing. Doing that will allow us to keep Apache::Server dealing with $s instances.
I do like the ConnectionRec, ServerRec idea, but I think it'll require a way too many changes for those porting to 2.0.
Of course we may decide to do both: Apache::Program and Apache::ServerRec/Apache::ConnectionRec, to make things less ambiguos. For example many people confuse Apache::Request and Apache::RequestRec. So if we will have Apache::Server and Apache::ServerRec we will have another confusion source.
Finally if you have a better idea then 'Program' in Apache::Program, please suggest alternative names.
