Hi All,

I am a newbie to Apache development. I am trying to develop a module
for apache 1.3.34 in C++. I really need to link with some C++ libs and
use C++  headers for this project.

1) How do i go about it ? Do i follow the standard Makefile approach
as outlined in the book "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" ?

2) The sample skeleton code (mixed C/C++) is given below. Would
someone be kind enough to go through and tell me if my approach is OK?

==========Example code =========================
#include "apache/httpd.h"
#include "http_config.h"
#include "http_core.h"
#include "http_log.h"
#include "http_protocol.h"

#undef strtoul
//will the next line work as intended?
extern "C" module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT clickout_module;

static void co_mod_init(server_rec *s, pool *p)
{
   //some module initialization stuff
}
static int co_handler(request_rec *r)
{
   const char* hostname;
   r->content_type = "text/html";
   ap_send_http_header(r);
   hostname = ap_get_remote_host(r->connection, r->per_dir_config,
REMOTE_NAME);
   ap_rputs ("Some text");
   return OK;
}
static handler_rec co_handlers[] =
{
   {"some-hander", some_handler},
   {NULL}
};
void co_proc_init(server_rec* s, pool* p)
{
// some c++ initialization functions here.
}

extern "C" { // is this extern useful here?
module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT clickout_module =
{
   STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF,
   co_mod_init,           /** module initializer */
   NULL,                  /** per-directory config creator */
   NULL,                  /** dir config merger */
   NULL,                  /** server config creator */
   NULL,                  /** server config merger */
   NULL,                  /** command table */
   co_handlers,           /** [9] content handlers */
   NULL,                  /** [2] URI-to-filename translation */
   NULL,                  /** [5] check/validate user_id */
   NULL,                  /** [6] check user_id is valid *here* */
   NULL,                  /** [4] check access by host address */
   NULL,                  /** [7] MIME type checker/setter */
   NULL,                  /** [8] fixups */
   NULL,                  /** [10] logger */
   NULL,                  /** [3] header parser */
   co_proc_init,          /** process initialization */
   NULL,                  /** process exit/cleanup */
   NULL                   /** [1] post read_request handling */
};
}

==========End example code ======================

Thanks in advance.!!
