Clarification: apr_bucket_split()

Hi all,

I need some clarification as well on the contract for 
apr_bucket_split(). Are there bucket types that it is not safe to try 
and split?

Can you try a split on any bucket and get reasonable behaviour (ie 
APR_SUCCESS or APR_EIVAL, but not crash)?

Regards,
Graham

Yes, because even those that don't support splits have to implement the
split "method".

Yes. ie: a bucket type that do not support splits must have a noop split
method that returns ENOTIMPL (apr-util/buckets).
