Thanks for the reply, instead of rewriting the CGI used locations isn't there a way to get the functionality.
I am making use of $r primary for some session handling only. I am not doing any read or manipulation with the POSTed data. Do you think that CGI removal is a must? Without much rework can't get the Apache2::Request to work. At this stage I prefer less code change as every other fuctionality is working. Would just a initialization of following work, my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r); Thanks Joe Schaefer-6 wrote: > > --- Tracy12 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> Thanks for the reply, >> >> Can you pls clariy what is meant by the following, >> >> >> >> >>The original poster should be using apreq >> >>(APR::Request::Apache2 or Apache2::Request) >> >>for this, not some other perl module that doesn't >> >>exploit the filter api. >> >> Does this mean the final target application which >> consumes POST data should >> use Apache2::Request > > You could, but it's not necessary. > >> or the Auth handler should >> should do "SOMETHING " to >> preserve data using Apache2::Request. > > Use Apache2::Request in the auth handler, and apreq > will do the SOMETHING you need automatically. > > >> At the moment >> I am not doing any >> specific request handling. >> >> at the moment I have sample CGI script writen in >> perl which get the request >> parameter. as follows, >> Are you saying that I should use Apache2::Request in >> the following instead >> of use CGI qw(:standard) , pls clarify >> >> #!/usr/bin/perl >> use warnings; >> use strict; >> use CGI qw(:standard); >> >> my $username = param('code') || "unknown"; >> printf "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"; >> printf "<P>Hello, World. $username"; >> >> for more information I will state the top part of my >> Auth Handler.
