Hi, I want to create a data structure and associate it with a request_rec*, which will be accessed by multiple filters and handlers in our module.
I know I can use the filter->ctx for general data structure storage, but I actually want something that will be accessed by multiple filters and handlers without having to rebuild it. Currently our module (mod_pagespeed) rebuilds the same context multiple times and this can be a little more compute-intensive than desired. Of course I can make my own std::map<request_rec*, MyAwesomeStructure*> and put the map in my own module config, cleaning up and freeing my structure when the request_rec's pool is deleted via a hook. But I wanted to see if there was a more direct place to stash pointers. I also know I can put strings in request->notes but I need to put a data structure, not a string. Is there an easy way to do this? Or should I use a map? -Josh
