Q: 

Are Apache httpd modules binary-backwards-compatible between versions?

Can i (for example) use mod_proxy of version 2.2.10 with an otherwise unchanged 2.2.8 apache distribution under windows?

+1  A: 

I think the Apache module ABI is stable across the 2.2 releases, but I wouldn't swear to it. What happens if you try?

It does work.Turns out that the apache httpd-project guarantees forward compatibility and tries to maintain backwards-compatibility of the ABIs.
