yea. you got exactly what I mean!! :D I want to put this non HTTP thing together with some other Apache::Registry scripts on the same port 80 with modperl 1.27 and Apache 1.3. The problem was that I could not find any clues in the 1.3 Guide (sorry I am quite new to how Apache process a request). > > just about the only thing you cannot do with mod_perl is parse the Request > Line - that is handled by Apache before the request cycle starts. so Apache > will intercept the requests before the PerlPostReadRequestHandler runs, > similar to the way it intercepts HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host header. > > in Apache/mod_perl 2.0, you can write an input filter that _does_ allow you > do parse the Request Line yourself. then again, you can write a protocol > handler for any protocol you can dream up, so there's no reason to mess with > HTTP :) Thanks!! I got it now =) P.S.: wish you all a merry christmas! :D
