Help with Cookie
*Sometimes* my script cannot get the cookie info. I just wondering if this could be problems *other than* my script (eg ISP's caching, and so on). I am using CGI.pm to read cookie. The script that has problem is output the content of an image, that is, the users have to login to view the image. And another script, which also requires the same cookie info, generates the layout. That is, i have a script called photogallery.cgi that generates the follow output: output of photogallery.cgi --- html something here... the image goes here img scr=image.cgi?file_id=1234 ... /html --- Then the script image.cgi will write to the browser the image content. Sometimes this script (image.cgi) cannot read the cookie info. I guess the problem should come from my code or the server setting. However, because I have investigated my script for quite a long time and cannot get a clue of what went wrong. So I want to check if others ever experienced this problem before. I am using Perl 5.6.0, mod_perl/1.24 Apache/1.3.14 IE 5.5. Bird
How to change an SSIs Last-Modified
Hi. I am using SSI a lot for 3 reasons: 1. Easy way to modularize static and generated HTML 2. XBitHack full + touch provides an easy way to have pages play the If-Modified-Since game. (If our catalog database is updated, the fame SSIs get a touch) 3. Performance Now I am implementing a way for users to give votes and add comments to our product details pages. This makes it necessary to modify the frame SSIs Last-Modified header. Unfortunately I can not do this after the or from within or after the include because at this time the header is already on its way. So I call update_mtime from within the SSI frames PerlFixupHandler and now my SSI frame has a Last-Modified that comes from the database and uses this to play the whole If-Modified-Since game including 304. Cool. Congratulations to the guy that invented the update_mtime interface.

Re: Getting the wrong URL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: OK, I think I have solved this problem, but I would like to run my solution by you folks, and see if it makes any sense. What we found, on a more thorough code review, was that a number of the handlers were doing a redirect by calling send_cgi_header, and then exit()'ing. It seemed to us that the exit would kill the Perl interp, and the Apache child would then just keep serving whatever it had in its buffer at the time. Does that make any sense? If so, will die() have the same results? I started grepping for exit everywhere, and removed it, but along the way I saw a number of places that we're calling die. I expect that this is just a really stupid newbie problem - I've only been doing mod_perl stuff for about 6 months or so. And, in fact, once it occurred to me that this might be the problem, of course I found it in the FAQ.

HTTP 1.1
Strange numbers appeares, when I use HTTP 1.1 protocol to get response from my
mod_perl server.
The test.pl script:
use strict;
use Apache::Request();
my $r = shift;
my $apr = Apache::Request-new($r);
$apr-send_http_header('text/html');
print 1234567;
Now look to HTTP 1.1. response of this script:
# telnet xx.xx.ru 81
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xx.xx.ru.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /test.pl HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Host: xx.xx.ru
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
1
1234567
0
What does mean number 1 before line 1234567? And what does mean 0 after all?
Is there a way to cut off the line with number 1 and cut off the line with number
0?
I need only line 1234567 in response! It is vital for me!
Now look what will be, if I ask HTTP version 1.0:
bsd2# telnet xx.xx.ru 80
Trying 212.188.13.65...
Connected to xx.xx.ru.
Escape character is '^]'.

1234567
Thats all right with HTTP/1.0! No additional lines in output and no Header
Transfer-Encoding: chunked in response.
But I need , it to be all right in case of HTTP/1.1 !
Is there any ideas?
Thanks!

guess
here's the key the the answer you're looking for:
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
for wise browsing software, these numbers are used in
re-constructing the original html from the chunks as they
arrive.
if you're just sending your stuff to an average joe running a
standard web browser, they should all understand this stuff out
of the box. if you're doing something fancy (proxy filter,
maybe?) perhaps you need to check the specs for the HTTP/1.1
protocols and accomodate them. :)

The numbers are chunk sizes, which is part of chunked Transfer-Encoding,
part of the HTTP/1.1 specification. You should read this:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6.1
For dynamically generated content, there is no Content-Length (unless your
script sets one with $r-header_out('Content-Length' = $length) or you
use the associated method in Apache::File). In HTTP/1.0, the server closes
the connection after the script exists, so the missing Content-Length does
not present a problem.
With HTTP/1.1 Keep-Alive, the browser needs to know when to stop reading
the response. The chunked Transfer-Encoding sends chunk sizes, then
chunks, like lots of mini Content-Length fields.
Humbly,
Andrew

Wondering if it causes any problem if I am using CGI.pm to read the

the cookie.

my %cookie_info = $q-cookie('cookie_name');

I am using CGI.pm to read cookie. The script that has problem
is output the content of an image, that is, the users have to login to
view the image. And another script, which also requires the same
cookie info, generates the layout.
That is, i have a script called photogallery.cgi that generates the
follow output:
output of photogallery.cgi
---
html
something here...
the image goes here img
scr=image.cgi?file_id=1234
...
/html

Then the script image.cgi will write to the browser the image
content. Sometimes this script (image.cgi) cannot read the cookie
info.
I guess the problem should come from my code or the server setting.
