I am writing a remap plugin to do a hybrid reverse proxy / redirection task.In
some circumstances I want to call out to a seperate http server (not related to

I've coded this up using libcurl, which works but seems very slow - creating and destroying a curl_easy_init object per call. Is there a way to call an HTTP GET during a plugin's process, just passing some request parameters and headers using the internal ATSfunctionality?
It seems TSFetchRespGet or TSFetchURL might work, but I can't see any way to make a new tsapi_httptxn with my call in it.
thanks very much,
Yeah, none of this will work (well) in a remap plugin. You need to
rewrite this as e.g. a read-request-header hook, and then use
TSHttpConnect() (most likely) to fetch the content. This also implies
you have to yield and reschedule your continuation while waiting and
processing the response. If not (and as you probably have noticed with
your remap plugin), you will block the net-thread for the duration of
the request. This is very bad, because all clients on that thread are
now stalled until your (curl) request finishes.
