I stole the code for Stonehenge::Pictures partially from some stuff
I saw in the Eagle book, but here's my current meme on that:
use Apache::Constants qw(:common DIR_MAGIC_TYPE);
...
sub handler {
$R = shift;
$URI = $R->uri;
...
if ($R->content_type eq DIR_MAGIC_TYPE) {
return handle_directory();
} else {
return handle_file();
}
...
sub handle_directory {
## if non-slash URL, send external redirect via mod_dir:
return DECLINED unless $URI =~ /\/$/;
...
So, I first see if content_type is DIR_MAGIC_TYPE, and then
if it doesn't also end in a slash, I decline, and the nice mod_dir
does all the external redirecting stuff.
