RE: Compiling Apache modules for windows
Hi Günter, A couple of weeks ago I asked in the Apache developpers' list if anyone could compile a third party module (mod_replace) for Windows, and you were very kind and did it. These two weeks I've been trying the module, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. After much investigating, I realized that the replace filter works with pages that are under 32 KB, and doesnt't work if they're bigger. I've been looking in the mod_replace sources and I've seen that there's a constant declared at the beginning which says "#define START_SIZE (32 * 1024)". I think that's the key, because after that it makes a malloc with that size. For my purposes, I would need it to be at least 200 KB, but for general purposes (for including that module in your third party modules page), I think it should be at least 500 KB. I've made the changes in the source code and I send it attached, would you be so kind as to recompile it?

Re: Compiling Apache modules for windows
Hi all! Günter sent me a binary version of mod_replace. I started trying it and I couldn't get it to work. At last I found that there is an error in the example configuration file. Instead of being 'Replace colour color text/html', it should be 'Replace "colour" "color" text/html'. At least this is the only way it worked for me. I say this in case anyone is interested. Now I've got some questions. I've been able to make replacements in the files if they have .html extension, but not in the rest (.js, etc.). In the example cfg you sent me, this is what you said (with my correction already done): Replace "colour" "color" text/html AddOutputFilter REPLACE html I've tried writing "js" instead of "html" in the second line, but I don't know what to write in the first line instead of "text/html". I've tried lots of things but none work. What should I do to apply the replacements to all the files served, independent of their extension? I tried *, but it doesn't work. Another question: do you know how should I write the httpd.conf to make the replacements to files proxied from another server? I wrote this, but it doesn't work: Replace colour color text/html AddOutputFilter REPLACE html ProxyPass http://someserver/someloc ProxyPassReverse http://someserver/someloc I've tried different orders of the lines, but none worked. Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

Thanks very much, Günter! I'm going to try it right now!

Compiling Apache modules for windows
Hi!
I'm interested in a third party module for Apache that I found in the
internet, but there's only the source code of it (a .c file), not the
.so file. I'm a windows user, and I read in the Apache website's faq
that "only a limited number of the developers have the capability to
build the InstallShield package" for windows. Is building the .so very
complicated? What would I need? Is there a doc that explains it? If you
think it would be impossible for a newbie, is there a way for any of you
to compile the module for me?
By the way, I think the module is very interesting not only for me,
but for many people. It is called mod_replace, and it can make
replacements in the content of the pages served. I think this would be a
very useful feature for Apache. Maybe it can be included in the Apache
distribution in a near future, after the necessary testings, releases,
betas, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Igor Leturia
mod_ext_filter and windows binaries info needed, please (again)
Hi!
I'm writing this message again, as no one has answered the other one.
I'm interested in the module mod_ext_filter. As it is in experimental
phase, it is not included in the windows binaries of 2.0.36. I would
like to ask the people that builds the windows binaries if it will be in
the next version. But, as the next version might not be out for some
time, I would be very grateful if the windows binaries builders would
compile the module and send it to me, if it's not too much asking. Its
author, Jeff Trawick, told me that they won't move the module out of
experimental until a number of users have tried and used it. He says
there aren't many people using it and that he is interested in any
feedback about it. Well, I'm ready and willing to try it, because I
think it might solve a problem I have, but I need the module compiled
for windows.
Anyway, thanks in advance and sorry for the intrusion.

mod_ext_filter
Hi!
First of all, I must apologize as I am not exactly an Apache
developper, though I would like to help in some way. I am writing to
this list just to point out an error in Apache 2.0.35. The problem is
that the Windows distribution of Apache 2.0.35 doesn't include the
mod_ext_filter.so file, although the docs say that the module exists in
that version.
Besides, I am interested in that module, so if someone could please
send me the mod_ext_filter.so file for Windows, I would try to help in
its development by trying it (I heard it is in an experimental phase
yet, isn't it?) and sending the results to this list.
Thanks in advance,
Igor Leturia
