mod_perl and mod_python

[pengyh]

I know perl and python a bit well, most time use both of them for work.
besides mod_perl, there is also mod_python.
do you know what's the difference between them?
I never heard people using mod_python to make some jobs.

Thanks

does perl5 support threading?

shuffle a array

[pengyh]

in my modperl app I want to shuffle an array. such as this method in ruby,

irb(main):005:0> array
=> [1, 2, 3, 4]
irb(main):006:0> array.shuffle
=> [1, 4, 3, 2]


do you know how to achieve it in perl?

Thanks.

thanks for letting me know this.

mpm_event like all Apache mpm_s is much better at handling "issues" where nginx 
just goes F* and returns nothing. When we have issues we can detect them on apache mpms - 
but we often fail to see nginx errors as it sort of just dies!

I think running Ignix as front-end server and mod_perl for backend 
server is the more popular choice.





If you want the speed of mod_event for static content and the power of mod_perl 
for dynamic content - the best way is to run a lightweight mod_event apache in 
front of a mod_prefork to run the mod_perl

[pengyh]

thanks. that does sound sorry.


No and neither is mod_worker. The only mpm you can safely use is 
prefork. This is, in my opinion, mod_perl's fatal flaw which will doom it.

LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so

in your httpd.conf?


yes. as you see:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug  4 14:00 perl.load -> 
../mods-available/perl.load
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug  4 14:01 apreq2.load -> 
../mods-available/apreq2.load





Have you tried it with mpm_prefork?


the development environment is mpm_prefork.



What version of Apache and mod_perl are you using exactly?


Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) mod_apreq2-20101207/2.8.0 mod_perl/2.0.11 
Perl/v5.30.0 configured



ubuntu 20.04 x64 OS.

Thanks

Re: PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

multiple -d "x=y" should be working.




   -d "param1=value1=value2"

Re: PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

You need to share the complete GET & POST request with the data section.


OK as you can test this GET works:

http://fb.cloudcache.net/?timestamp=12345=906434463477769dba188a4b670ef425

but this POST doesn't work:

curl -X POST -d 'timestamp=12345' \
 -d 'authkey=906434463477769dba188a4b670ef425' \
 http://fb.cloudcache.net/


The server responds with:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.


So how to fix it?

Thanks

is mpm_event safe for modperl handler?

[pengyh]

Hello

yes i know mpm_prefork is pretty good for modperl applications.
if I run modperl handler (for example, PerlAccessHandler) under 
mpm_event, is it safe for a production environment?


thanks.

Re: PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

Have you checked that the values of $key and $digest are equal?


as i have said, GET always works, but POST doesn't. so I am not sure 
where is wrong.

Re: PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

return $key eq $digest ? Apache2::Const::OK : Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN;


there are no further customized code for Apache2::Const::OK.

the httpd.conf just as:


ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName my.site.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/feedback

PerlPostConfigRequire /etc/apache2/modperl/startup.pl


SetHandler modperl
PerlAccessHandler MLFB



ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mlfb.access.log combined

Re: PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

POST always gets a 403 error. but GET does get the correct response.

Thanks


What do you mean by “doesn’t work”.  Do you mean your code isn’t executed at 
all, or that it isn’t executing correctly?  It would be helpful to see the 
associated Apache config, as well.

PerlAccessHandler for POST access

[pengyh]

do you know for my this simple PerlAccessHandler, why HTTP GET works, 
but POST doesn't?


use strict;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::Connection ();
use APR::Table ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK FORBIDDEN);
use Apache2::Request;
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);


sub handler {

my $r = shift;
my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);
my $ts = $req->param("timestamp");
my $key = $req->param("authkey");
my $digest = md5_hex($ts);

return $key eq $digest ? Apache2::Const::OK : 
Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN;

}


1;


Thanks.
