yesterday, I gave an all-day mod_perl talk to the Applied Research Lab over at Penn State. overall I think it went well - hopefully it gave them a new way of looking at web application progamming and lots of concepts to revisit on their own.
one of the final parts of the material I prepared involved a procedure for making mod_perl respond to all requests using HTTP/0.9 (why? come to my talk at YAPC::NA to find out :). as I was writing the code, I decided to use Apache::Test so I didn't have to mess with my httpd.conf all the time. turns out if you use the LWP shortcuts for Apache::Test, HTTP/0.9 isn't considered a valid protocol. So, I submitted a quick patch to allow you to toggle whether HTTP/0.9 is allowed. no news on patch integration yet, just in case you're looking for the same functionality :)
