Hi Randy,

You asked me about dropping this patch and I've done a bit of digging.
My conclusion is that the patch is not integrated into 2.4.7 and
it would be "nice to have" since we've supported it so far.
It seems that apache2-2.6.x will include the patch.
The intended use is primarily to support SPDY as described here:
https://technotes.googlecode.com/git/nextprotoneg.html
and I skimmed though this:
http://googledevelopers.blogspot.ca/2012/04/add-spdy-support-to-your-apache->
server.html
As for generating a new patch, the STATUS file in 2.4.7 says:
...
* mod_ssl: Add support for Next Protocol Negotiation.
Trunk patch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1332643
2.4.x patch:
Trunk patch works.

sf says: Needs r1345599, too.
And wrowe's comment about the 2.2 patch is also valid for 2.4:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823
Does that help? Do you want someone @WR to work on the patch, the
mod_spdy module and testing? A few more comments and links given
below.

This patch has:
Upstream-Status: Backport
and I do see the _reworked_ feature and our patch upstream
in the git-svn repo:
https://github.com/apache/httpd.git
specifically, the re-worked commit here:
https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/afa9bc99edf96a8ff3a81786cc4ef52a9f3cf
310
and a commit with identical content to our patch here:
https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/79d4d4d3ce586bf526178ed6d05e1b0dca705
1c4
but they are both on the trunk branch (aka 2.5) so
they are not include in 2.4.7.
The original defect is:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52210
OpenSSL 1.0.1 added support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN)
[1], a feature which allows client and server to negotiate what
protocol should be used over the secure connection. I propose
adding hooks into mod_ssl to allow other modules to access
this feature.
Thanks for looking deeper into this. I'm not quite sure what they mean by
"Trunk patch works" but I just retrieved the trunk patch and tried to apply it
but there are conflicts; I also tried a cherry-pick on that git repository but
that didn't work either.
I suspect that it would be good to have someone else who knows more about this
feature create and test a new patch, so if you have someone who could do that
that would be great.
Will do. It may have to wait until after the Chinese Spring festival but
we'll get it on the "to do" list.

Cheers,
Paul
