mod_choke is a module for Apache that limits usage by greedy clients. It's two main functions are to limit the number of concurrent connections per IP, and to limit the rate at which apache sends data to the client.

It includes detection of users behind proxy servers (using the X-Referred-By header). It includes limiting the speed at which files are sent to a configurable rate, with the option of allowing a burst at full speed for the first chunk of a file.

Requirements:
Apache 1.3

What's New in This Release:
Added ChokeRateEnv and ChokeBurstEnv directives
Fixed compile bug with choke_scoreboard_rec not defined when apache does not have SMHGET support compiled in.
Expanded the choke-status handler. Added status, host and request.
Changed concurrency check to include connections in more states.
