With the hopes that this thread might reach the ORDS decision makers, here's my with list. Feel free to add to it:
- remove the requirement to install Apex.
- create two new plsql datatypes: http_request_body_clob and http_request_body_blob. These will contain the raw http request as a clob or as as blob. Or if this is too hard, then create a function which will return the raw request body.
- create an new CGI variable: http_header so we can see the request header from within plsql.
- keep Apache, yes it cannot support websockets, ws:// -- most will have a separate websocket server anyway.
- support Nginx.
