flood config question

[Pete Stokes <st...@quinn-direct.com>]

Hi.

I am trying to use flood, and I am wondering is there a list of options 
available for elements, i.e.

<socket>generic</socket>

what other options exist for socket?

I'm after a source of info for as much as possible to enable me to try 
out all features.

Many thanks,
Pete.

Please have look at:

http://cvs.apache.org/~jacekp/manual/

This is still-up-to-date build of flood manual. If you prefer, you can
have your own build (for example as PDF file if you have xsl:fo engine).
Please see docs/README file for that.

The information you are looking for can be found in chapter 6. Basically
you have 3 choices: generic, keepalive and ssl. There is not much
information, but the options are pretty self explanatory. Generic
sockets die right after response, keepalive sockets linger around for a
while, and ssl sockets provide support for https requests.

If you feel that certain aspect of flood needs to be described in
greater detail, then please let us know. You can also prepare missing
paragraphs yourself, and post them here (either as plain text or as
patches against DocBook XML). Any input would be greatly apreciated.
