I cannot perform a non-blocking operation (querying redis for example) from within my module's handler function because as soon as my handler returns httpd sends a response. i.e. there's no 'NOT_DONE_YET' return code?
And while I'm anonymously ranting on the internet...
- being able to control response headers completely would be nice. In our case, the Date and Server headers cost money to send and our clients don't care about them. It's not for security reasons, it's about traffic egress costs on the cloud
- having a way to hook a worker thread's init would be useful
- there must be an easier way to get a request body other than the bucket brigade stuff?
4) No. Bucket Brigades is the API for this. It's an efficient linked-list of future-data. It's a good API IMO, just needs some understanding, and because its in C, its full of macros (there are more alternatives to making it cleaner if we weren't using C)
