Subject: Inclusion of PHP LiteSpeed SAPI in the standard PHP distribution?
From: gwang@litespeedtech.com (George Wang)

Hi,

It has been over two years since the last time we wrote to the list to 
consider the inclusion of litespeed SAPI module in the stand PHP 
distribution. By that time, our code has been added to CVS repository 
under /pecl/litespeed, and I have been told that "if there is enough 
independent user demand for it and we are comfortable with the quality 
of the code, it will go in."

In two years, we have been improving the SAPI module to a very stable 
state, and our user base has grown substantially, LiteSpeed is the top 
10 web server in the world according to netcraft.

I believe, besides the apache SAPI and fcgi SAPI, LiteSpeed SAPI is one 
of the top PHP SAPI being used in production environment. And LiteSpeed 
SAPI has the combination of best performance, configuration flexibility  
via .htaccess and enhanced security with SuEXEC.

Right now, our users have to apply "LiteSpeed" patch to the PHP package 
manually, which is not convenient. We'd like to work closely with PHP 
community to have our LiteSpeed SAPI code included and continue to 
improve PHP performance and scalability.

The latest source code has been checked in to 
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/litespeed/

I am ready to help with any code changes required to meet PHP coding 
standard.

Thanks,
George Wang
