Socket-based porotocol module: how to re-use connection?

[Jie Gao]

Hi All,

I am playing with a socket-based protocol module based on Stas'
MyApache::EchoSocket.

I wonder what is needed to enable the function of re-using connections?

In perl we can use this:

$server = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalHost => "my.host.com",
                                LocalPort => 8899,
                                ReuseAddr => 1,
                                Proto     => "tcp",
                                Listen    => 200 )

How is this implemented http in mod_perl via Apache2 without using http?

Any suggestions?

Regards,
