True, you can't share the post data in an apache-1 server, so either use the POST-to-GET kludge, or make sure all the modules use the same parsing library (CGI.pm). > As for using Apache::Request->instance(), the CGI code is legacy code > and uses CGI.pm exclusively, so I don't have the option of using the > Apache::Request object without some code wading (not now).

No, that won't work. It will work in mp2 though, because apache 2.x has a much richer IO (filtering) scheme. The mp2 version of Apache::Request takes advantage of that. CGI.pm doesn't though, so you need to be sure Apache::Request is invoked before CGI.pm consumes all the post data. But the situation of an auth-handler using Apache::Request, with a Registry script using CGI.pm, should just work in mp2. No kludges required there. -- Joe Schaefer
