[...]ii) is there any way to perform a select(2) or like on the $socket? I would like to implement some sort of 'timeout' in the read loop..say, after 5 secs if nothing is recv'd from the client then the connection will be closed. I have tried alarm/die pair but it was a failure. Anyidea?You have the APR::Socket object, so it should be possible. Though I see that apr_poll_ API is not glued. !MODULE=APR::Poll apr_poll_socket_add apr_poll_socket_clear apr_poll_data_get apr_poll_revents_get apr_poll_socket_mask apr_poll apr_poll_socket_remove apr_poll_data_set apr_poll_setup The ! mark in xs/maps/apr_functions.map disables the glueing of this API subset at the build time.sorry but I would like to ask how do I glue that? I tried the util/xs_check.pl in the modperl2 src dir, and it reports.. unable to glue 27 mapped functions:
it requires more than that, since the C types used by apr_pool functions aren't all having Perl typemap entries. Before we implement these let's ask Doug why he chose to skip APR::Poll in first place.
This is a job of the PerlPreConnectionHandler, which is currently not implemented. Its purpose is to look at the first request of the new connection and dynamically assign a protocol handler for the current connection.Finally, as I've mention before, I would like to put this non http thing together with other http things on the same port 80. Is this possible? say, when this handler sees GET|POST|HEAD it forgets the request and let the Apache HTTP module process it in the normal way?
