Re: Apache::Test & LWP 6.x - don't
Any news on this Torsten? I think we have enough code changes since
February to start another release cycle here soon. This seems to be a
blocking issue.

Yes, I fully agree. Now that Perl 5.14 is out. About a fortnight ago I
asked to test trunk with 5.14. Since there was no reply/complain I assume
it works, ;-).

I don't think so. Tests are passed successfully most of the time. If you
think it is an issue we can fall back to the built in HTTP client if LWP
6 is detected. We already have an environment variable to do that. That's
quite a simple fix, I think.
In the long term I'd like to have a full featured HTTP (1.0 and 1.1)
client independent of LWP shipped with AT.
I currently don't have time to work on that. If I had I'd work on the
httpd-2.4 port. Status here is that modperl compiles. A few segfaults
have also been fixed. But it still crashes at startup in modperl_pcw.c.
Tackle one problem at a time, that's also the reason why I went back to
LWP 5.
