Hi List, In theory Authentication / Authorization handlers are very cool, because the application underneath it doesn't need to know the logic of it, and as long as you design web applications with nice, RESTful, sensible URIs it would all work beautifully.
BUT, I cannot figure out how to 'ask' apache wether a request would succeed or not. I'm wondering wether there would be a way to do: my $ok = $r->would_be_authorized ($uri); # or my $ok = $r->would_be_authorized ($uri, 'GET'); # or my $ok = $r->would_be_authorized ($uri, 'POST', $fh); This would be handy because for example in your web application you might want certain controls or links to be replaced by proper messages rather than directing the user to a location that he/she doesn't have access to. If I missed something obvious please point out a URI so that I can RTFM! All ideas appreciated!
