Bryan Call created TS-3546:
------------------------------
Summary: Remove TSPluginRegister API or make the version checking
work
Key: TS-3546
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3546
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: TS API
Reporter: Bryan Call
IRC discussion about it:
{code}
09:29:39] <@bcall> why do we want plugins to register?
[09:30:06] <@jpeach> afaik historically it's always been a requirement
[09:30:30] <@bcall> I don't think so
[09:30:33] <@jpeach> imho there should be a way for plugin to fail at
startup
[09:30:53] <@jpeach> if register does nothing useful then we should just
remove it
[09:31:46] <@bcall> it was used for API version checking from what I
remember
[09:31:52] <@jpeach> but registration creates internal info that could be
used for something interesting
[09:31:54] <@bcall> and I never did it in my plugins
[09:32:18] <@sudheerv> fwiw, i think i didn't either ;)
[09:32:52] <@jpeach> heh
[09:32:54] <@bcall> it is helpful for 3rd party plugins - vender, email, etc
[09:33:13] <@bcall> and api version checking
[09:33:14] <@jpeach> that information never goes anywhere
[09:33:20] <@bcall> I can see the merit of the version checking
[09:33:21] <@jpeach> the version checking does nothing
[09:33:28] <@bcall> even better :)
[09:33:40] <@jpeach> sounds like you should nuke it for 6.0
[09:34:09] <@bcall> I will file a bug
