I'd like to second that ! Peter.

I'd like to get mod_auth_ldap ported to this, and if we move towards a provider-based system, I think mod_auth_ldap should be moved back into the core. (Namely because that's the preferred auth for DAV ACL support as it is hierarchical.) I want to see auth_ldap moved into experimental so that it is included in any work done on overhauling the auth stuff. Currently the code is receiving minimal exposure where it is.

BUT, since nobody seems willing to step-up and create such a system, I think it would be a mistake to prevent good modules from getting the wider distribution that they can expect from the core distribution. Freezing apache features to wait for some mythical system to appear would be a mistake. I would *love* to see this happen. I think a decoupling of modules from the core httpd server would give us many benefits: - cleaner interface for module integration - independent lifecycles allow for independent and quicker development - well-defined module interfaces allow for easier 3rd party integration - ... How do we start? I think the first step would be to come up with a unified way to build 3rd party modules, as either a static module or a DSO, and allowing for complex multi-file/multi-directory/multi-library build dependencies. -aaron

Any CPAN style system should not hold up development of the server. agreed. and when such a system exists, the modules could be moved over to it. in the mean time they should go into the core Regards, Graham
