Do you recollect that? You still in contact with Edward? I have no objections to relicensing mod_transform, Adding Edward and Christian, the only other people with commits in afaik: https://github.com/OutOfOrder/mod_transform/commits/master I'm not sure I believe in belongs in HTTP Server project itself, I think it has had a fine life as an external module, and github is doing fine for basic maintenance, but I'll bow to people with energy if y'all really want it under the ASF domain.

It would be a great starting point. I have a distant recollection of consulting Paul and Edward about re-licensing, then dropping the ball on it. IIRC the outcome was, they were both happy to re-license, but there had also been one or two third-party patches raising a questionmark over whether we should consult anyone else. Cc: Paul. Do you recollect that? You still in contact with Edward? -- Nick Kew

I’ve been using mod_transform v0.6.0 for a while, and have wanted to develop it further. It would be a great starting point. Regards, Graham —

There are several old modules: for example mod_transform. I expect they still serve for sites without i18n requirements. One option would be to overhaul that. Note, mod_transform is GPL. Originally my decision when I released its earlier predecessor, before I was part of the dev@httpd team. I'd be happy to re-license it as Apache, and I don't think any of my co-developers would object. -- Nick Kew
XSLT filter for httpd
Hi all, In the light of the move to simple services that talk XML/JSON and HTML and Javascript based clients that become more and more capable, I find myself wanting an XSLT filter quite often these days to sit in the middle and translate between the two. As a complement to mod_xmlenc, would it make sense to include an XSLT filter in httpd out the box? Regards, Graham —
