Hi.
If it may contribute something to the question :
I have a case where, within a response handler, I need to make a call to a back-end Tomcat
through mod_jk (a simple GET, not a POST). I initially tried to do this through a
sub-request, and was getting segfaults in Apache for my trouble.
Rather than investigating this, I switched to making the call through LWP, and it has been
working fine for a couple of years, on a variety of systems and Apache versions.

Well, I do need mod_rewrite to be run. A lot of our users use SES url's
and then use rewrite rules to parse them out. I also have specific
requests to leave .htaccess functionality in there (for secured
directories and so forth).
So yeah, the more typical Apache functionality we can leave in the
better. It's a pretty tall order.
I've configured my perl module using AddHandler in Apache, like so:
AddHandler perl-script [my file extensions]
PerlRequire /path/to/mymod.pm
PerlHandler mymod
and that seems to allow me to do everything I'm needing to do so far,
but I admit I haven't tested it thoroughly so far. I'm still trying to
get POST data passed.
Thank you again, very much, for your help!
Warm Regards,

Then maybe you don't need subrequests at all. A translation handler
may be
sufficient. Even an internal redirect will do if invoked before the
response
phase. (The core response handler calls ap_discard_request_body.)
