RE: Auth Handlers

I saw the examples in the eagle book and they all seem to use Authz, with Auth handlers using the example you showed. Perhaps I need to modify the headers so that the prompt does not occur? I have the exact same problem. I want my AuthenHandler to decide if the user is prompted for a password. Unfortunately the book tells me: By the time the handler is called, Apache will have done most of the work in negotiating the HTTP Basic authentication protocol. It will have alerted the browser that authentication is required to access the page, and the browser will have prompted the user to enter his name and password. Has anybody got an idea how to let a handler decide, if autthen. is required?

Re: Perl and Microsoft Excel?

Excel can do that, and while you lose all the fancy formatting, it just dumps them in a comma seperated list, then you can split on commas to get the values out of it. Be careful, MScsv is not as simple as it seems. Fields containing , are enclosed in - thats OK. But those -enclosed fields saved from Excel can also contain linebreaks. Hth, Joachim
Re: AxKit Last-Modified header
On Mon, 2001-09-10 at 16:19, Brian Wheeler wrote: The only difference between the two (request-wise) is that static pages return a Last-Modified header and dynamic data doesn't. It seems to me that if I drop that header, everything will work :) I've tried doing: $r-header_out(Last-Modified=''); and $r-header_out(Last-Modified=undef); but the header still comes out. Thoughts? Am I on the right track? Do not remove Last-Modified. Add an Expires (Maybe even 1970). If the page is expired, the browser will rerequest it with an If-Modified-Since. So you can still play the 304 game. Hth, Joachim
How do I close a persistent connection?
Hi. We are experiencing infrequent troubles (page could not be displayed) with IE 5 and redirects under SSL. As a workaround (hopefully) I want to close the persistent HTTP/1.1 connection if such a redirect occurs. How do I do this. Sending a Connection:close header will tell the client that I will close the connection, but how do I actually do this? Thanx, Joachim
