mod_ticket

[Justin Wells <jr...@semiotek.com>]

I would like to contribute this module to the Apache project:
I'm not sure what to do, so I am posting it here. If I should be 
doing something different, please tell me :-)

mod_ticket scans a URI for a digitally signed ticket and, if the
md5 signature is valid, makes it available as $TICKET in the
environment of sub-processes. The signature is generated from a
shared secret combined with the ticket value and the IP of the
remote user.

This enables several interesting things:

  -- pass authenticated traffic from one website to another if both
     sites share a secret

  -- encode unspoofable cookie-style data into a URL that can 
     survive relative linking. 

I have attached it to this message, and also posted it here:

  http://germ.semiotek.com/ticket

Full documentation of mod_ticket appears in the C source header.

Oops! Sorry, I accidentally sent an older version. I have attached
