Thanks Joe, Tom, and Geoff for the replies. To answer all of you:
I am NOT using mp2 and I think the behavior is documented for mp1, as others have suggested.
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). Just out of curiosity, though, will something as simple as:
$r = Apache::Request->instance(); $q = CGI->new($r);
work when using the instance method under mp1 regardless of whether the
Apache::Request->instance() has been used in a prior handler?
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.
As I suspected. Thanks for the details.
Sean
