[users@httpd] request processing cycle

[Esteban Pizzini <ep...@yahoo.com.ar>]

Hi, I'm trying to understand how apache works internaly, so I´m looking for information about "request processing cycle". In http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/developer/request.html, it´s says that all request pass through ap_process_request_internal(), but next??
Anybody know where can i find that information??, is there any graph or steps that Apache do internaly??  or I have to look in the code ??
 
Thank you!,
Esteban

To quote:

"All requests pass through ap_process_request_internal()  in request.c, 
including subrequests and redirects. If a module doesn't pass generated 
requests through this code, the author is cautioned that the module may 
be broken by future changes to request processing."

That means you will need to look at request.c

Also, if you write your own modules make sure you call the required 
call back hooks as documented...
