 |

I am new to the Apache modules development. I am working on implementing a new custom C-module which is going to intercept a request and handle it according to specific policies. The module will be installed to work with one of the MPM modules - either Event or Prefork.
Does module implementation depend on the specific MPM it is going to work with? Do I need 2 different implementations to work with 2 different MPM? What should be considered to make a custom module MPM compliant? I am looking for any tips or recommendations (documentation, examples, advices etc.).
Also, read an opinion that "Apache designers recommend modules to be 'MPM agnostic as much as possible'". Any take on this? |

Short answer is: no. Almost all modules work the same way on every MPM.
If you use as much APR as much you can, your module will run on most platforms like windows and Linux.
Examples are mod_example in the apache source code itself.
Some simple example are also https://github.com/JBlond/mod_bikeshed
