Nice :-)

I've looked at the source code of mod_lisp.c (version 2.33) and Apache (1.3.29) and I'm beginning to ask myself whether the "Keep-Socket" option makes any sense at all. What I see with my limited knowledge of Apache is the following:

You missed one key part of the process.

2. To get a socket, lisp-handler calls OpenLispSocket.

3. OpenLispSocket uses ap_psocket (using the global variable SocketPool) to get a socket from Apache.

OpenLispSocket only fetches a new socket if and only if one has not already established and is safe to use (see here): if (cfg->LispSocket) if (cfg->UnsafeLispSocket) { ap_pclosesocket(SocketPool, cfg->LispSocket); cfg->LispSocket = 0; cfg->UnsafeLispSocket = 0; } else { return cfg->LispSocket; } This is the step that bypasses the creation of a new socket. Thus, Keep-Socket does make sense. I'll continue looking at the TBNL and mod_Lisp interaction to see if I can find anything else. Thanks, Pete
