so when i tried the httpd.conf approach i ran into a problem. i added
this to my conf file:
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/test>
PerlOptions -InputFilter -OutputFilter
</Directory>
but when i ran "apachectl -t" on it i got this syntax error:
Invalid per-directory PerlOption: InputFilter
so it seems that while PerlOption is allowed at the directory level,
the InputFilter and OutputFilter options are not. (i actually couldn't
find a relevant section in the docs about that so i am unsure.)
it is my preferred solution to be able to turn the filter off for
particular directories via the conf file so it is my fading hope that
i'm doing something wrong?
if i am not then my plan of attack is to use PerlSetVar. then my conf
file would look like so:
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/test>
PerlSetVar EnableMyFilter false
</Directory>
and my input and output filter handlers would look something like this:
sub handler : FilterRequestHandler
{
my $f = shift;
return Apache2::Const::DECLINED if $f->r->dir_config (
'EnableMyFilter' ) eq 'false';
...
}
does that approach sound correct?
or is that i need to add an enabling / disabling filter into the
filter chain in front of my filter that reads the PerlSetVar option
and then either leaves my filter in the chain or uses something like
"$f->next->next...->remove" to remove it?
thanks,
mike
