Hi,
[This may turn out to be an Apache only question, please let me know if so.]
Ok, I know that I can only read POSTed content once. But I can't
understand why in the code below I need to convert POST to GET, otherwise
the process will get stuck on return. However, if I replace
..UNSUPPORTED... with OK (and send some headers), the code works just fine.
The only reason I can think it gets stuck is that after the handler
returns, Apache goes on calling another handler (default-handler?, I don't
have any others) which attempts to read the POSTed content.
I thought any return code except for DECLINED should terminate a handler
walk ("If a handler returns DECLINED, Apache moves on the next module in
the list" [Eagle, p. 77]).
Thanks
Hers's the code:
package Apache::AModule;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants;
sub handler
{
my $r = shift;
my $data;
warn( 'Reading in: '.$r->header_in('Content-length').' bytes' );
$r->read( $data, $r->header_in('Content-length') );
$r->method("GET");
$r->method_number(M_GET);
$r->headers_in->unset("Content-length");
return Apache::Constants::HTTP_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE();
}
