Re: How to read request content without eating it ?

[Ben RUBSON]

Joseph,

Thank you very much, now it works as expected :

sub handler {
  $r = shift;
  my $q = Apache2::Request->new($r);
  if($q->param('signature') eq "expected_signature")
  {
    return Apache2::Const::OK;
  }
  return Apache2::Const::AUTH_REQUIRED;
}

Thank you again,

Ben
