Hi.

I'm in the middle of a PerlHandler. To serve the current request properly, I would need the result (content) from another HTTP request which I would maself address to this same webserver.

I could do this the hard way by using LWP to just issue a new HTTP request to localhost and get the content, before I go on with my current request.

But I figure there must be an easier and more efficient way, no ?

Looking at the explanations for sub-requests, lookup_uri etc.., I get the impression however that calling these, pretty much terminates the current request, and replaces it by the one I'm calling.
Which is not what I want.
I want to continue processing the current request but using the response from my other request.

Any ideas ?


Note (but I think this is irrelevant) : the secondary request I want to issue is in fact destined to the Tomcat which sits behind this Apache via a mod_jk re-director. It's like if, before answering the client, I want to ask Tomcat a question like "if I were, hypothetically, to request the following URL, what would you answer ?"
A bit like the Sphynx in the famous puzzle.
