I tried out your config and handlers pretty much verbatim and got them to work just fine. the only real change was that I needed to comment out
> return $status unless $status == OK; from filter one, since $fh is $r->filename for the first filter, which brings up 404 when the file is not found. that said, yes I see the same thing, but only for 404s. I think the problem is that you need to deal with your error code properly. > > now, according to what I've read, this should print out the "Filter 1Filter > 2", which is what I need to let me get real work done, but all I get is > Filter 2. So all powerful list, WTF am I missing (it's gotta be something > obvious, it always is). $fh is $r->filename for the first filter in the chain. if $r->filename does not exist, you need to handle this. $status is one way of handling it. checking for $fh (which will be undef if $r->filename does not exist) is another. basically, you definitely don't want to read from $fh if $fh is not defined :) this situation should probably be protected against in Apache::Filter better, but it basically looks like it is a problem with your logic.
