Hi,
It's a very useful book, even though it predates apache 2.
Hmm, it sure was a very useful book until recently - since it pretty
much was _the_ only book on Apache module development. I was always
amazed at the lack of documentation for Apache2 module developers.
Go get a copy of Nick's book fast. This is the best (and only) you can
get for Apache2 -- if you feel like it you might want to read parts of
Writing Apache Modules .. (esp. the introduction chapters and the
smallish part on C at the end) but Nick's tome is pretty much a must.
If some nitts and picks with that book but there is a wealth of
information in it - don't waste your time reading partially out-of-date
documentation fragments from the web.
Just my 0.01 €

You will need to supplement it (with a few articles on converting
modules from apache 1.3 to apache 2, and with the doxygen pages for
apache 2 and apr, or with Nick Kew's new book), but I still find it
to be an indespensible reference to the Apache API.

Many moons ago, around 2001 I believe, I purchased the book Writing
Apache Modules with Perl and C by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern.
I have not dug it up yet, but I am guessing that it was written for
Apache 1.x. For my needs, handling basic requests, will it be out of
date?
