Full_Name: Arnold Ruetzel Version: 2.2.8 OS: windows NT 4.0 Submission from: 192-63-19672.unisys.com (192.63.196.72) Hi Ralf, I posted the following message a couple of days ago to the modssl users list but didn't get any response yet. Msg: "I wrote my own module which is loaded by Apache at startup time. This module needs to access the SSL variables in the "URI to filename translation" phase,but the variables are not available at this phase. Does anybody know what I have to do to make the SSL variables available to me in the "URI to filename translation" phase ? Is there a way to make use of mod_ssl's API's to get my hands on the SSL variables and how would that be done?" end of msg. Browsing the modssl users list today I found two replies from you relating to my problem under EAPI & SSL XXX dated 1999,March 10 and 11. The first one goes like this: "The mod_perl problem is that the users script operated in an Apache API phase which came _before_ the phase where mod_ssl creates the SSL_XXX environment variables. But the variables are internally available a lot of time before this, of course. So I suggested that with a little bit of code which calls mod_ssl's variable lookup EAPI hook, the problem could be solved." The 2nd reply in the same thread is as follows: "No, with these details it now finally looks exactly like the mod_perl handlers problem: The cfml.exe is run by mod_cgi which means all SSL_XXX variables are available, because the process is spawned _after_ mod_ssl has filled the environment. The .cfm stuff seems to be exanded directly the by mod_coldfusion handler and _before_ mod_ssl has filled the environment. Hmm... I'll look, perhaps I can create the environment variables a little bit earlier in the API processing, .......". My questions: 1. Did you change mod_ssl already to create the SSL xxx variables earlier in the cycle? (e.g it would be great if they could be accessed already in the header-parser phase). 2. If the answer to 1.is NO,how would I call modssl's variable lookup EAPI hook from my module as mentioned in reply one? ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
