Hi all,

In order to get connections to have async behaviour, it must be possible =
for the process_connection hook to exit in the expectation of being =
called again when an async mpm is present - this is easy, the mpms =
already do that.

The missing bit is that conn_rec needs a context so that when is is =
called a second time it knows what state it is in.

There is a void *ctx variable that was added in r1565657, but I=E2=80=99m =
not sure it is enough.

Would it make sense to add a vector of contexts that same way we have a =
vector of configs, one slot for each module, which will allow any module =
to add a context of it=E2=80=99s own to conn_rec without having to =
extend conn_rec?

It would be nice to have the same for requests, for the same reason.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Graham
