I'm doing a 45 minute seminar at UAB tomorrow on mod_perl, and would be
very grateful if anyone would point out holes in this code before I try
to show it to a roomful of attendees:
========================================
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# module for Apache/mod_perl PerlPostReadRequestHandler to redirect
# users on the nonsecure port over to SSL (hopefully saving bookmarks)
#______________________________________________________________________
package Apache::PortCorrect; # define the package space
use strict; # pragma for clean code
use Apache::Constants qw( :response ); # installed with mod_perl
sub handler { # default methodname
my($r) = @_; # the request object
return OK if 443 == $r->get_server_port; # ok if already SSL
my $uri = "https://myserver.com"; # DNS literal *
. (split /\s+/, $r->the_request)[1]; # requested "page"
$r->custom_response(MOVED,$uri); # for re-request
return MOVED; # page moved!
}
1; # guarantee return code for load
================================================================
and
================================================================
PerlPostReadRequestHandler +Apache::PortCorrect
================================================================
If someone is interested in seeing the rest of the presentation, I've
posted it at http://thesilentbard.com/ACM%20Seminar.ppt -- if you'd
care to post it online anywhere else, please let me know first, but
that's cool, too. Any corrections are welcome.
I know it isn't clean (I tried to make sure it fit on one slide and
didn't get too complicated for the topic, hence such non-portable
features as the DNS literal, etc), but suggestions are still very
welcome.
Thanks all,
Paul
