When Andy first said "no Apache" I mistakenly heard him to say "in the kernel". Have heard others wanting to move http servers into the kernel for (hopefully) better performance. IMHO this is the Microsoft Mistake, to throw everything in including the kitchen sink. OTOH a function such as sendfile() when integrated into the kernel can know more about optimizing buffers, and is a good compromise. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
