Subject: PHP Suspendable requests for Apache
From: rustamabd@gmail.com ("Rustam Abdullaev")

Hi,

Is anyone working on a suspendable request support in PHP when used as a 
module in Apache?

Suspendable requests are great for supporting Server Push technology, but 
are currently only supported in Jetty and Tomcat.

The API would be extremely simple, for example:

suspend(string request_id, int timeout);
- this would end the current request but keep the client connection open up 
to "timeout" seconds.

resume(string request_id);
- this would resume a suspended request by starting a new PHP request but 
reusing the same client connection that was previously suspended


I think there is enough support in Apache 2 APR to make this possible. What 
do you guys think?
