mod_pony

mod_pony has been a pretty long-standing joke on #httpd on Freenode, and has also made a number of appearances in conference presentations of mine when I wanted to refer to an imaginary module for some reason.

I'm pleased to announce that there is now actually a mod_pony. It really doesn't do anything useful. But it does build, and output a pony. And, really, what more could one possibly want?

Patches welcome.

(See mod_pony in action HERE.)

    Aw, C'mon, add a link back to feathercast somewhere hidden in the pony! Is your server slowing down yet, or does mod_pony play with caches well?

    I look forward eagerly to the day that mod_pony has a complete line of configuration directives for use as documentation examples.

    It's always sad to see how a good joke becomes bad because someone actually does it :(
