Hi all,
Is it possible to get $r->custom_response to respond using a MIME type other
than text/html?
I’m writing a mod_perl application that’s intended to work with someone else’s
React front end. My code therefore just sends JSON.
For an authentication failure, I can use custom_response to send a custom JSON
error with a Forbidden HTTP status:
$r->custom_response(Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN, $json);
It works fine, except that I can’t get it to use the correct MIME type. The
following has no effect (whether I deploy it immediately before the
custom_response call or afterwards):
$r->content_type("application/json; charset=utf-8”);
It’s not a huge deal — and I haven’t yet tested whether React freaks out over
the Forbidden HTTP status regardless.
But if there’s a way to do this, I’d love to know. Thanks!
Cheers,
Andrew.
