I don't understand why don't you do that in your cgi script (btw, is it running under mod_perl/registry or just mod_cgi?). Why do you need yet another handler?Though it's probably not as fast as adjusting the headers via the api in the response handlers. However since you aren't telling what you are trying to do I can't give you a better advice.
Here's what I'm trying to do: I am implementing a login/logout mechanism. The user can't access any page till he logs in. That is any attempt to access pages without logging in will be redirected to the login screen. I have successfully implemented this part. The login page is generated by a CGI script. Once the user logs in successfully, I want to set a cookie. That's the reason why I want the login CGI script to pass the result to my handler. The handler, which must be run after the CGI script has been run, will decide to modify the output header (to set cookie) depending upon the result code passed to it by the login screen.
If it's a mod_perl registry script, you have an access to the request object. Either via my $r = shift; at the beginning of your script or via Apache->request (which retrieves the globally stored req object)I have read all the documentation about handlers etc., and couldn't find a way to do this. I know about notes/pnotes, but aren't they for passing values from one handler to other. How can my CGI script use them? And if it is possible for my CGI script to use them, would that be safe when multiple users are trying to log in?
If it's a script running under the mod_cgi handler, I don't think you can.
One more question. I redirect the incoming request by calling $r->uri($new_uri) in my PerlTransHandler. How can I make the browser show this new location in its address bar?
in mod_cgi scripts: print "Location: $new_location"; or use CGI; print CGI->new->redirect($new_location); or talking mod_perl, see for example: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/snippets.html#Sending_Cookies_in_REDIRECT_Response __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
