Architecture: Exploiting the Apache environment

• Apache provides:

  • Convenient request parsing (all the work is already done for you by the time your functions are called)
  • Internal (interchild) process statistics.
  • Powerful functions of expanding and exploring requests post-modification.

• Apache does not provide:

  • Abstracted OS independent interprocess communication
  • The ability to override the KeepAlives configuration parameter.
