[users@httpd] Handling Custom Protocol
Hi,
We'd like to implement something that knows how to handle a custom
communication protocol, and allows us to pass requests down to Tomcats (or
a JKHandler implementation).
Currently we have a class on the Apache machine which listens on a port,
opens a socket for the device, wraps each request as an http request, and
sends it to Apache for load balancing between the Tomcat servers. Is there
a way to integrate this directly into Apache and increase performance etc.?
cheers,
David

Apache 2 has some multi-protocol support. Modules exist for pop3,
ftp, and echo. You may want to look at those and see if they give you
ideas.
Again, this is a request that may get better answers on the module
developers list:
