I had a question about mod_unicon's status, so I thought I'd send
out a message to the group also.

The short answer is, of course, that the status remains quo. We're
a little busy with Unicon bug testing and bug-fixing.

Unlikely. I don't like hidden variables, either in quantum mechanics
or in code. Snippets of code embedded in HTML are an instance of
that. No, my plan is that you will be able to define a procedure as an
HTTP module that will be invoked by Apache (or Netscape, or...) to
serve pages. I also want maximum portability so I don't want any
Apache-driven (or PHP-driven, or Perl-driven) design in there.

I'm thinking that the "HTTP module" procedure will be invoked at
server initialisation, shutdown, and to serve a request; there is only
one "request phase". Any semantic subdivision of the phase is the
responsibility of the Unicon programmer. (Apache and netscape break
up the task of serving a page into several phases; of course they
choose different ways of dividing it up! And of course I don't know
what IIS does, neither do I have any interest in knowing; don't write
to tell me about it.)
