Now we only need a little thing - get SAPI for Apache 2 :) BTW, current beta says the filter infrastructure is there, and API is stabilizing, so maybe it's not too far away. Well, it will definitely be slower since Apache will have to do file descriptor passing between processes to hand the request off to the correct httpd process. But, it will also be more secure than safe-mode and much faster than CGI-suExecHow can one pass file descriptors? Or do you just mean it will pass filename?
