Subject: Porting to Windows CE


I apologize if this is not the correct address.  I found this address
in the
porting file of the 1.3.4 release.

My company is creating an HTML server for Windows CE and we are
considering
using Apache as a base.  Is there already a port (probably from the
win32
version) to the CE platform underway?

Also, are you considering changing to C++ anytime soon?  Perhaps just
for
new modules?

Thank you,

I haven't looked at WinCE for a while, but (at least in version 1.0) it most
certainly
did NOT implement all of the Win32 API. And many of the parts it didn't
implement
also didn't return any sort of error to let you know they failed!

I thought the wonderful thing about Windows CE is that it implemented the
same interface (Win32) as the other platforms?  If so, I would hope that
Apache could at most be recompiled for that platform and run.  Yes, I do
realize that theory and reality may be at odds here :)

If it doesn't, we'd be happy to consider whatever patches are necessary to
run there.

Also, it should be possible to write plug-ins to the Apache API in C++.
