Here is my hosting provider's configuration:
apache_get_version: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux)
mod_throttle/3.1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d
php_sapi_name: apache

I am unfamiliar with PHP internals and how they interact with the web
server. Will that only work on Apache 2 and with sapi as
"apache2filter" or "apache2handler"? I don't think I can recompile the
SAPI module, but I could build my own module and have my hosting
provider install it. Is it possible to add such a function in a custom
module? If it is too hard, then I will just go the low-tech route
(polling the log file).

Thanks.
