You don't have to modify the config to define your protocol. You have to do that in your c code. Or what do you wanna know?

??? I thought you already know which protocol you want to implement. Or is it just for fun?

What is your goal? Just have a new module or what?

I think Gregg is right. Doing it yourself would burn a lot of time. Why reinvent the wheel?

OK, but it is Open Source. You can change that by modifying the code. I think it is easier to do that than starting from scratch.

If you should do this for a company you working for scroll down on that download page Gregg has posted to "Links to Commercial Hard and Software Supporting NTRIP" and ask one of the companies offering you exactly what you want. That is mostly cheaper than doing it yourself. That is how I would do it.

I didn't find the limit of users you wrote about on that download page.

how many users do you want to serv?

Hi everybody,

We are a team of developer that one of us is mzzamani.
There are some important reasons to implement these software by ourselves, I know all opensource and commercial packages and options in this field and now we have a commercial NtripCaster in Qt toolkit, but we want to use Apache server in order to bring load balance functionallity to NtripCaster(multi-threading always is very hard and challenging),

Of course, I believe that first we must provide tools that is needed, then use them for our work (like google!!! Very Happy). One of the tools must be provided is a C++ and Qt framwork for Apache, please refer to this post http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=4137 and read more about first tools is needed!!!

Thanks for reply. Wink

There is some stuff left on http://codea.sourceforge.net/ but I don't know if that is useful.

Maybe useful http://modcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ it is for apache 2.0 but maybe it compiles against 2.2

for codea go to this page http://sf.net/projects/codea and see Note about that project (it is moved to forge.novell.com since 2002, but I can't find it in that site, I bring details in the http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=4137 last reply)

very thanks.

OK, from what I read, NTRIP is based on the HTTP protocol. Since you want to load balance casters, maybe modify mod_proxy_http to fit the protocol and use mod_proxy_balancer for the balancing. Can this actually be done I do not know, that is up to you to decide.

Deeply, there are some differences in structures. In other mod we read from file and not communicate with other request and it's thread(mod_php). In this mod we must communicate with other request.It means the reached the requests from NtripServer and persistent data send to the thread of the NtripClient and put on the socket of NtripClient(apache API: apr_putr()). Therefore, we must provide data from other requests.

sorry I know this is noobish and a bit off topic but I've never heard of ntrip before ... I clicked a couple of the links in this thread and see that it's open source code for pulling information from satellites?? Navigation, gps and "observations" - would that be photos? Is this something anybody can plug into or does accessing the data cost money? Sounds like it could be fun to play with unless I'm totally misunderstanding what ntrip is/does ...
