Hi.
From a heavy (indirect) user of Apache2::AuthCookie (and it's 2.4 incantation), first of
all, thanks. And in particular, thank you for the work done to make this compatible with
the changes in Apache 2.4, despite the paucity of original documentation available.

And I don't speak for everyone, but as far as I am concerned, I would indeed vote for
retiring the 1.x version code.

Note: I do not really use the released Apache2::AuthCookie as such, having long ago
derived my own version of it and added multiple alternative things which make it
unshareable, but I regularly refer to the latest code of Apache2::AuthCookie to keep mine
up-to-date.
So again, thanks.

André

I don't know of anyone who uses Apache HTTPd v1.x or mod_perl
version 1.x anymore. With mod_perl2 support added recently for
Apache HTTPd v2.4 it seems that earlier versions of mod_perl2 are
gradually being upgraded too (including my systems, of which I only
have a few older ones to upgrade from v2.2 in the near future).

It seems to me that while Apache HTTPd v2.2 is still quite popular
and continues to be very relevant, I suspect that anything earlier
than v2.2 is also probably not a major concern. Also of interest is
the "end of life" final release status of Apache HTTPd v2.2, for
which you can read the official announcement, here:

Apache httpd 2.2.34 Released (End-of-Life); final release
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.2.html

In summary, I have no need for Apache HTTPd v1.x since I've long ago
upgraded to newer v2.2 and v2.4, and so from my perspective I don't
see any need to continue maintaining modules for v1.x (with an
exception being paying customers who won't/can't upgrade from v1.x).

By the way, thanks for the great work you've put into the
Apache2::AuthCookie module (and its earlier incantations).

What a nice surprise for mod_perl then. :-)

Running it on Apache 2.2 and 2.4, so would be fine for you to discontinue
1.x.

Thanks for the good work.

And, just by curiosity : do you use any kind of authentication with these apps, and if yes
which kind ?
