Apache 2.0

["Guntupalli, Santhi" <sa...@digital.com>]

Hello,
	I am going through the upgradation from of Apache to 2.0 and changes
1.3 to 2.0, I have found some differences.

1. structure for module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT has been changed from Apache 1.3
to 2.0, as mentioned that some of the functions in Apache 2.0  have to be
registered as hooks. But I did not find corresponding hooks for these
functions in Apache 1.3 in "module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT "
" initializer ", "child_exit"
How to implement this two functions as hooks??
2.  In Apache 2.0 the from "request_rec" structure varibale boundary has
been removed, how to  take care of boundary variable 
Anybody has answer for this?
Thanks in advance,
- GS

It appears, in our use of this hook, that the cleanup of the "pchild" 
memory pool does not happen until the shutdown of the entire server. 
We're running into resource starvation problems due to this. Is there a 
configuration directive to make sure that the child memory pool is freed 
or is this a bug?

Personally, I'd rather have a much more explicit (and 
backwards-compatible) child_exit hook. What is the reason for its 
removal in 2.0?

Register a cleanup against pchild. That's your child exit hook.
