Apache::ASP and Frontpage extensions
Hi Support I've managed to run the example ASP scripts after installing and configuring modperl under apache 1.3.12. All fine. I still cannot run a particular script that runs perfectly well under Microsoft IIS 4.0. I assume I need to load Frontpage Server extensions, but when I do, the new httpd program doesn't have the modperl modules compiled anymore although the frontpage modules are loaded perfectly. So it seems a case of either frontpage or modperl, but not both. Or am I being an idiot? Please help me Garth Parfitt Port Elizabeth South Africa

Re: Changing REMOTE_ADDR passing to a request.
hi,
I have not use mod_proxy_add_forward before. I have download the source code
and have a look at it.
It seems like just passing "X-Forwarded-For" in a header of a request. I
think
this is same as my code here:
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $reqq =
HTTP::Request-new('GET','http://www.serverB.com/cgi-bin/ip.cgi');
$reqq-header('X-Forwarded-For'='1.2.3.4');
$reqq-header('Remote_Addr'='1.2.3.4'); # this line won't work.
my $ress = $ua-request($reqq);
print $ress-as_string;
The $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}of server B still return the real ip address of
server A.
So, how do I change the $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}of server B to 1.2.3.4 without
changing anything at server B ?
If I am wrong with the mod_proxy_add_forward, please point it out. Because I
have no idea how to implement the mod_proxy_add_forward in to mod_proxy of
Apache.
And no idea how to use it too. If you got some clue, please tell me how to
start using that module, if it really works.
Thanks.

Well, you could do it several ways. The "normal" way is to set a
header in the request that A sends to be, usually the same one that
various caching proxy servers do, namely X-Forwarded-For. You won't
be able to do that with LWP::Simple, have a look at the main LWP
page for details on how to make more sophisticated requests. I'm
assuming you've ruled out using Apache's mod_proxy, and therefore that
you won't be wanting to use mod_proxy_add_forward.
Then, in the B server, you can peel it out of the Apache request
object manually as part of your script, or you can do it in an earlier
handler phase and make a $r-remote_ip() call like the one you were
making in the A server.
To catch the header on the backend, you can have a look at the
Guide:
http://thingy.kcilink.com/modperlguide/scenario/Getting_the_Remote_Server_IP
_in_.html
my $r = shift;
$r-connection-remote_ip('1.2.3.4');
it only works in server A, meaning,
$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} in Server A return 1.2.3.4, but $ENV
{'REMOTE_ADDR'} in server B still return the Server A ip address.
Right: nothing passes environment variables between the servers. You
need to establish your own channel (the header mentioned above) for
passing that value and tweak the B server to recover the value and
stuff it in the environment variable.

Re: Changing REMOTE_ADDR passing to a request.
Hello ,
If I understand well what you want , you want to spoof the real IP adress of
server A to make server B think that he is speaking to A' .
Lets see the apache.pm pod :
=item $c-remote_ip
The dotted decimal representation of the remote client's IP address.
This is set by the server when the connection record is created so
is always defined.
You can also set this value by providing an argument to it. This is
helpful if your server is behind a squid accelerator proxy which adds
a X-Forwarded-For header.
1)How this make you think that adding the X-Forwarded-For header will
change the value of $c-remote_ip ?
and this :
=item $c-remote_addr
A packed SOCKADDR_IN in the same format as returned by
LSocket/pack_sockaddr_in, containing the port and address on the
remote host that the server is connected to. This is set by the
server when the connection record is created so it is always defined.
2) This mean that if the server B use $c-remote_addr method he will
get the real ip that he is connected to , so no way to spoof it .
(and if I understand well this method is used by apache to set $ENV)
3) In my way the only way to change the value of $c-remote_addr
is to create an proxy server between :
B--PROXYA
and remove X-Forwarded-For at the proxy , so B will never know that he is
speaking
to A.
Good luck !
Best

Andreas König's Apache::HeavyCGI is a nice alternative approach to the use of stacked handlers. If there isn't, could it be implemented by dumping the data structure to $r-notes (with Data::Dumper) and have it eval'ed back by the next handler? I just started playing around with HeavyCGI, but it uses the "Singleton" approach: one master handler "dispatches" each request to to all the modules that are needed, first allowing each a shot at processing headers (last-mod times, conditional tests, early errors, etc), then for content, and finally for cleanup, fixup, etc. this lets them all play together without the strict stacking and inefficient error-handling of stacked hadlers. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Apache-HeavyCGI -dave

Can't you allocate some generic namespace, or better yet, create your own package called config and in that export functions get_config set_config They will get/set a package wide variable. Then you make new,DESTROY, and what other functions you need. Then you create/set object in the Init module and the way you go, call get_config in each of the stacked modules and insert data into it, so it will be passed along. Simple alternative, you can store a hash in package wide namespace of the first package, and access that via hashref, which is more convinient or Package::hashname notation. Thats how I did it. If there isn't, could it be implemented by dumping the data structure to $r-notes (with Data::Dumper) and have it eval'ed back by the next handler? God NO!
