Hello. I subscribed to this list recently, and I have already swept
the Apache site looking for an answer to this question, I sent a
message to apache@apache.org and also to one of the individual
contributors with no reply. This is what I want to know:

Has any work begun on the multi-threaded implementation for Unix?
(I have read that the Windows version is MT already, but I am only
interested in the Unix version.) I would like to see how it is
done.

I am currently writing a MT transaction server shell that reads
HTTP database query messages and returns HTTP replies. I have done
some initial testing, and my approach appears to work. If no one
has developed the MT core for the Apache server, I would like to
propose my own. (I have not checked to see if that is OK with my
employer, because I don't know if the Apache code has been written
yet, and I do not know if you all would accept my offering. No
point in getting anyone up in arms about a non-issue.)

I've been working for this company for almost ten years, and I have
worked on distributed database products, written an info server,
a network modem sharing product and other moderately complex
projects, so I believe that I am qualified to contribute.

Would someone (not too many of you, please) reply? Thank you.
