+ * request.c is the code which handles the main line of request
+ * processing, once a request has been read in (finding the right per-
+ * directory configuration, building it if necessary, and calling all
+ * the module dispatch functions in the right order).
+ *
+ * The pieces here which are public to the modules, allow them to learn
+ * how the server would handle some other file or URI, or perhaps even
+ * direct the server to serve that other file instead of the one the
+ * client requested directly.
+ *
+ * There are two ways to do that. The first is the sub_request mechanism,
+ * which handles looking up files and URIs as adjuncts to some other
+ * request (e.g., directory entries for multiviews and directory listings);
+ * the lookup functions stop short of actually running the request, but
+ * (e.g., for includes), a module may call for the request to be run
+ * by calling run_sub_req. The space allocated to create sub_reqs can be
+ * reclaimed by calling destroy_sub_req --- be sure to copy anything you care
+ * about which was allocated in its apr_pool_t elsewhere before doing this.
