Status: Base (Windows); Experimental (Unix)

+Compatibility: Available in Apache 1.3 and later.

This is an experimental module. On selected operating systems it +can be used to load modules into Apache at runtime via the Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) mechanism, rather +than requiring a recompilation. + +
+On Unix, the loaded code typically comes from shared object files +(usually with .so extension), whilst on Windows this +module loads DLL files. This module is only available in +Apache 1.3 and up. + + +
In previous releases, the functionality of this module was provided +for Unix by mod_dld, and for Windows by mod_dll. On Windows, mod_dll +was used in beta release 1.3b1 through 1.3b5. mod_so combines these +two modules into a single module for all operating systems.
