This would have been in the parent process in the monitor hook or used in
the child init hook. The ability to use it in either would be good. I
think the easiest approach for me would be to use libCurl or an equivalent
simple client side lib. I'm not sure how to properly populate a
request_rec* so I don't want to touch it, unless there are APIs that can
build one for me easily without relying on an existing request_rec* to begin
with.
Thanks for your help,
SB
