Hi list,
I have received the task to write a modul to solve a particular problem in
one of our applications. We use the Oracle IAS with Apache 1.3 and
mod_plsqll. Some of the requests involve long-running DB queries.
Unfortunatily
this long queries cause one proxy to think that that there is a problem ..
So the idea is to have a modul, that relays the request to mod_plsql and
supervise that there is a resonse in a specified time. If so, the
resulting html
is returned, otherwise the intercepting modul is to generate a page and
waits
for mod_plsql to complete (The result of the query is to save for later
viewing).
I' ve done a lot of reading and managed to build a modul that generates
some
sample code. But I have problems to understand how I can redirect the
request to
mod_plsql and still have controll over the request. I 've read how to
generate a
redirect or an internal redirection. But if I understand right, I would
than not have
any way to
a) test if the request is answered in time; and
b) receive the gerated html output.
The only way I see in the monent is to open a socket and make a http
request onto
the original destination (mod_plsql). Looking into mod_proxy, this seems
a nontrivial
task, so I would rather avoid this.
I would be thankfull on any hints how to solve this problem, maybe there
is a simplier
way than the one discribed?
I hope this is the right place to ask this sort of question, but I could
not find any other.
Bert
