Thanks for this.
I get errors when I try and use notes. Exact error is:
Can't locate object method "note" via package "Apache::Connection"....
I have got a line reading "use Apache::Connection();" at the top of my
code :)
I prefer the second method, however I'm having some problems with it. If
I add the header in the request filter, it doesn't appear to be set when
I do
$filter->r->headers_in->get("X-iProxy");
The returned result is empty.
If I telnet into the proxy and type the request manually, with the
header there, it works fine.
It's definitly adding the header in the request filter, but I can't
retrieve it through the headers_in function. It only works when the
client sends the "X-iProxy" header, not when it's added via the filter.
Any ideas?
