There's no HTTP client in the subrequest code. mod_publisher does what you're trying to do, using its own HTTP client code, including keepalive to a backend. Rationalising it to use apache's proxying code instead is on the wishlist, but that'll want some further mod_proxy hacking too. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
