To show you that that is not an modperl-thing but implemented that way
in apache, let's have a look at the ultimate docs. In
httpd-2.x.y/server/protocol.c you'll find the ap_read_request function.
It reads in a request, finds the virtual host that handles the request
and calls PostReadRequest handlers. It is a bit lengthy. So I have
removed the unnecessary for the problem stuff and put in a few
comments:
request_rec *ap_read_request(conn_rec *conn)
{
...
r->headers_in = apr_table_make(r->pool, 25);
Here $r->headers_in is created as an empty table.
/* Get the request... */
if (!read_request_line(r, tmp_bb)) {
This reads the first request line, something like "GET / HTTP/1.1"
if (!r->assbackwards) {
ap_get_mime_headers_core(r, tmp_bb);
And this line reads in the headers and populates $r->headers_in.
if (apr_table_get(r->headers_in, "Transfer-Encoding")
&& apr_table_get(r->headers_in, "Content-Length")) {
You see, even the function itself uses $r->headers_in.
ap_update_vhost_from_headers(r);
Another example of $r->headers_in usage. Here the correct
NamedVirtualHost is found. This function needs the Host request header.
if ((access_status = ap_run_post_read_request(r))) {
And here a PerlPostReadRequestHandler is called.
...
}
