Perhap Apache on Windows needs updating?

Perhap Apache on Windows needs to have patches offered. HTTP.SYS
is an interesting technology and certainly fits the profile for
an entirely separate MPM and core network stack, unrelated to the
conventional httpd server. Several folks have kicked around the
idea, but this is OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Until someone feels like
doing to the work, it won't exist, and trolling doesn't encourage
solutions in open source.

It had nothing to do with trolling - but explaining more than one process

on a port at the same time information - Apache can use it too!

On that friendly note; 

As for patches - it's more than that - it is a completely new project!

And it is easy to start learning http.sys via PowerShell - even tracking

Apache via PowerShel (threads, sockets, processes and etc.). Then after 

seeing "non Unix" ways, not non HTTP ways, and how they work, well if

one wants to move on to C++ / C okay but .NET makes it so much easier 

for the starter now! PowerShell is a .NET processe that can use http.sys.

So one can start right at the command line and see usage and objects 

and properties and etc right now (of Apache and or of http.sys).  But all

this is not Apache On Windows Unix version software - just newer Windows 

actions doing standard HTTP actions like IIS or any other http.sys user!

But the real question for ASF is - why write something that is already

there - one can change any part of IIS 7 (and up).  So why not just

start ASF IIS modules or what ever?   Still open source and usable.

Then perhaps move on to (if needed) to Apache http.sys MPM!

Just a question!

Since you seem to know so much about that technology, why don't you 

contribute to apache, and write the draft for this new (and supposively) 

better MPM?

This mailing list is hardly the appropriate place to discuss this.
