My apologies for being a dumbo, your forbearance is much appreciated!
no problem... Everybody has to start somewhere.
You seem to recommend the APR:* interfaces, but then go on to show that
to use APR::Request::Param to handle uploads, we will have to code
wrapper code similar to that in Apache2::Upload each time, for ourselves?
I was really just trying to illustrate a use of it and show that the
Apache2::* API's are wrappers or applications of the APR. Thus, you can
do anything with the APR::* methods you could with the Apache2:: ones.
I also didn't understand the difference between the two cookie classes,
except that there is an implication that the APR::Request::Cookie
classes do not call freeze/thaw automatically? Does this mean that I
have to call encode/decode on values when I create or access
APR::Request::Cookie cookies?
One does encoding decoding for you aka ' ' => %20
You might not need this depending on what you put in your cookies.
APR's Cookies does call them, but there are not the same freeze thaw.
There implemented as:
sub freeze { };
sub thaw { shift->value }
[Thats from memory so don't quote me on it]
Whereas Apache2's Cookie are more complex.
I can't even seem to get the APR::Request->new() to work.
[embarrassment!] Mmmm, maybe there isn't a new() method? Or maybe my
install is broken: Can't locate auto/APR/Request/new.al
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $req = APR::Request->handle($r);
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
$req = APR::Request::Custom->handle($pool,
"foo=arg1&bar=arg2",
"cookie=apache",
$parser, 1e6, $bb);
Thats to create a custom request object given the query string. You'll
like not going to use that particular method. It has other uses though.
$param = $req->param("foo");
$cookie = $req->jar("cookie");
Any code samples would help me, though at this stage, it seems to me
that the Apache2::Cookie is much easier to understand, create and use.
Familiar API .. aka CGI::Cookie(). Whereare the APR::* mirror the
Apache's APR API
One other thing, none of the SEE ALSO links work :(
I'm working on that....
Code sample:
package TEST::APREQ;
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => ’all’;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);
use APR::Request::Apache2 ();
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $req = APR::Request::Apache2->handle($r);
my $p = $req->args(’p’);
$r->content_type(’text/plain’);
$r->print("p: $p");
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
1;
For cookies, see the FAQ I wrote on the mp site: (3rd one down)
