Question about Apache 2.4 and libapreq2 (Apache2::Request)
Hi,
I currently use Apache 2.2, mod_perl and libapreq2 (for Apache2::Request and Apache2::Cookie). I did a test installation of Apache 2.4 (yum), mod_perl (source) and libapreq2-2.13 (source). and it seems to work fine.
The last update of libapreq2 was in 2010. I'm aware that not every library has to be updated and frankly I'm pleased that it still works. However, before I make a permanent switch to Apache 2.4, I was wondering if anyone doing a similar upgrade experienced problems using libapreq2 and what alternative(s) they chose.
Thank you.
John

We've been using apreq with 2.4 for two years without issue at work. I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with it on any version of httpd 2.x.

I’m no longer a part of Apache, sorry.

Hello Issac! Have you released this version on cpan as trial release for testing?
I have not found it on https://metacpan.org/release/libapreq2 so perl
community have not noticed about it.

In svn repository are some fixes for NULL pointer dereference.
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/apreq/trunk/?view=log
So it would be great to see a new version with these fixes released.

Moving to the apreq-dev list, and we can follow-up on the modperl list
thread if it makes sense later :)
I don't see why not, but I'd like to informally ping the dev list and
see whether we have other PMC members who'd be willing to vote.
Otherwise, we'd be making a lot of useless noise in prepping a release.

Somehow, it only came to my attention yesterday that 2.14 never
officially got released. That's a great shame because 2.13 doesn't
build out-of-the-box on Windows, at least not with httpd-2.4, whereas
2.14 does.
Is there any chance of resurrecting it, or else just going for a new
release numbered 2.15?

That release was canceled due to lack of votes, but regardless there was
very little effective difference between that and 2.13 - mostly around
tests, docs and build scripts. 2.13 should run just fine on 2.4

You are more likely to encounter problems with Apache than libapreq.
They changed quite a few things, notably the 'Allow from all' and 'Deny from all' directives, replaced by 'Require all granted/denied', that you have to modify for all your sites; I was also affected by a change in the running order of filters (mod_deflate ran before my custom outputfilter in 2.4).
Everything running smoothly since those were fixed across several different virtual hosts.

Vincent,Thanks for the information, will keep those points in mind when I make the switch. Happy to hear your move to 2.4 has been successful.
Cheers,John
