Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Bundling "modern" extensions
From: preinheimer@gmail.com (Paul Reinheimer)

Hi All,

> In parallel I'd also see if there are any key extensions which we think are mainstream, stable and well maintained enough to be included. For example, http comes to mind.


With regards to the http extension, I've been using it in production
for a while, but ran into an issue where it segfaulted and killed the
worker when parsing incomplete headers (as returned by some servers)
bug 19390 [1]. While this has been resolved in a more recent release,
the thought of things segfaulting makes me nervous. Are there
additional hoops for pecl extensions to jump through to 'prove' their
stability before making it into the core?


thanks
paul
