My mod_perl2 scripts mostly fall into 2 categories:
1) scripts that are called by URL location, and generate complete
content-pages
2) scripts that are called by SSI "include virtual" sequences
in .html files, and generate part of a page
In some cases scripts of type 1 directly call scripts of type 2 to
generate parts of their pages.
(Call this "case 3").
My questions are about when to call $r->content_type('text/html')
Such a call is a good idea in category 1, right?
Such a call probably should not be made by the directly-called script
in case 3, right?
Apache probably can't even tell that a new script has gotten into the
act, the calling
and called script are both in the undifferentiated sea of mod-perl
code, right?
In an SSI-invoked script (category 2) is a content_type call a)
required, b) good practice,
or c) a bad idea?
