Input Filters -- not seeing anything

[Pranesh Vadhirajan]

Hello,

I'm very new to developing Input Filters with Apache. I have written an
input filter to read the request body content and print it to my error log.
I have two print statements in my filtering function (one to let me know
that my filter code has been called and the other to print the request
content).  Yet, I'm not seeing anything happening (nothing is getting
printed to my log).  I have tried different things but I'm not able to make
anything work, so I've attached the code below hoping to get some insight on
why my filter doesn't seem to work.  I am building the module using apxs and
I have a LoadModule directive in the httpd.conf file to load my module.  I'm
new to the filter API and I'm totally out of ideas at this point as to why
this is not working.
