Hi all, I'm currently attempting to upgrade Apache::PAR to work with mod_perl 2, and one of the issues I am running into is with byterange requests:
With mod_perl 1.x, it was possible (using Apache::File) to use byteranges with requests using $r->each_byterange and $r->set_byterange (a good example is in the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook, section 6.7, Byteserving and Range Requests.) It appears that with Apache2/mod_perl2 ap_each_byterange and ap_set_byterange are no longer available, replaced instead by a protocol filter in Apache. The only documentation for Apache I could find regarding this is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/developer/filters.html - in that document, it explains that "Byterange: We have coded it to be inserted for all requests, and it is removed if not used." Does anyone know if the above statement includes mod_perl requests, or is there another workaround to send byterange responses with mod_perl modules? I suppose it could be implemented in the module itself (or as a patch to mod_perl, maybe in Apache::Response), but I don't want to attempt that if the byterange filter could be run anyway for a request. Thanks, -- Nathan Byrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
