mod_proxy problems
I was updating my front end to 1.3.24 (I know, should have checked for problems in the newsgroups/mailing lists). While I was at it I updated debian. Now, the apache child processes on my front end server are segfaulting whenever a URL defined by ProxyPass/ReverseProxyPass statements gets accessed. Assuming that whatever I messed up with mod_proxy won't get fixed for a long while (this is way over my head), and because I have no real way of stepping back to my previous config, what would be another way of bringing my mod_perl server back into the game with a front end server?

Many requests per page
Hello, I'm using Apache 1.3.22, mod_perl 1.25 and Template-Toolkit 2.06. How can I make my system so, that my perl handler is not called for each image, css and script the page has? Apache conf has following lines: Location / SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler My::Site PerlSendHeader On /Location I tried to check $r-content_type in FixupHandler (if content is img/gif or whatever, I could tell Apache not to call My::Site), but it was empty, so I couldn't use it to check what client requested. One solution that I could think of, was to make Apache conf use File *.html directive instead of Location, but I'd like to avoid this, if possible (it's a long story ;). And I can't put all static files to other VirtualHost, because this site is going to use Secure HTTP and all files must come from one place, or the client must answer to every image that it's ok to load it from another place. Thanks in advance. Rgds, Viljo
Re: Client capabilities (and JavaScript)
A sniffer can be much more subtle than that. If you have at least one
page view beforehand, like some kind of neutral title page, you can
stick an image tag where the SRC is a call to a mod perl script, with
all you want to know set as parameters IMG
SRC=/ninja-image.pl?has_plugin=1.3 You can create the
parameters using document.write in the page itself. That way, by the
time you get to the second page, you have the info you needed.
The perl script ninja-image.pl simply gets the data and would store it
in some kind of persistant way, and spit back some minimal headers and
the binary data that would be some kind of image (like a clear pixel,
even).
Peace,
Jamie

Hi,
With minimal JavaScript code you could identify the browser's capabilities.
Here is how you might approach the task.
If the browser is Lynx then send text only version otherwise send JavaScript
browser sniffer. The JavaScript sniffer can check for CSS, DHTML, DOM,
plugins, etc... then redirect back to the server for the correct
implementation.
If you don't mind the redirection (in JavaScript of course) then you're all
set. Redirection may not seem attractive but consider that JavaScript runs
within the client (read: browser) right so you got to get the information
back some how. Server side browser sniffing might be implemented through a
database of browser supported features and user-agent strings.
Just thought you might want to the idea. Good luck.

Re: Many requests per page
Poss. not the best person to answer this.. but I'll take a shot.. Can you not limit your perl-script to a single folder, so that you can set: Alias /scripts/ /path/to/scripts/ Location /scripts SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler My::Site PerlSendHeader On /Location The way I figure this, is that https://mysite.com/scripts/* act the same way as everything used to, and you can load your images from https://mysite.com/images/* without complaints about crossing the secure/nonsecure boundry... Also, don't know about this, but would be curious to know, if you have a whole site set up to use mod_perl, as below, and you also have an alias set up (like the apache default /icons/ directory) which takes precedence? Hope this helps..

I thought $r-content_type was used for the server to set the content
type for a response, not discover it from the request. So it should I
think be empty till set.
Something very similar that I've done before is:
return DECLINED if $r-uri =~ m/\.(jpg|gif|css)$/;
But you'll still need to handle the images somehow - e.g. a standard file
handler after My::Site.

Re: Many requests per page
I thought $r-content_type was used for the server to set the content type for a response, not discover it from the request. $r-content_type is just a get/set routine for the request record, giving you the option to either peek at it or set it yourself.

Re: Many requests per page
I'm running into a possible related problem. I'm using http_load to load test a simple hander (the aforementioned unique number generator). When I keep the load low (10-30 requests for 3-5 seconds) it works lovely. When I stry anything more stressful (say 50 requests for 5 seconds or 30r/10s) I get a cavalcade of byte count wrong errors. I wonder if: a) the $i global variable i'm using to increment (in concert with Timestamp/random (for now)) gets to big? b) the http_load program asks for too many ports and for some reason (apache, tcpstack?) linux (rh 7.2) doesn't like this any ideas? tia David (btw - I just picked up the mod_perl Developer's cookbook yesterday, and I'm eager to get into it) Geoffrey Young wrote: I thought $r-content_type was used for the server to set the content type for a response, not discover it from the request. $r-content_type is just a get/set routine for the request record, giving you the option to either peek at it or set it yourself.

SOAP and web services

Re: SOAP and web services
Are you sure soap is what you want?. Just because SOAP uses XML to encode the parameters and data which it transmits doesnt necessarily mean you want that same format sent to the user. Why would you not have a normal mod perl content handler execute whatever procedures are necessary to get the information and then build the XML structures from the plethora of modules available? I use mod_perl/apache/soap::lite to create an internal application server so that I can distribute processing load from the public webserver. This also allows me to expose a soap web service to the public if I wished to give them direct access to a method on this application server, but of course they would need a soap client to access this service. Do you want to just return an xml to your user, or do you want to do what I do which is do internal RPC using SOAP.

It's been going fine and then today the error_log started to fill with messages such as: Too many arguments for Apache::ROOT::cgi_2dbin::chimpkit::chimpworks_2epl::getStaleWatches at /usr/local/apachessl/cgi-bin/chimpkit/chimpworks.pl line 88, near $tmpl) These are coming from all over my code at all different subroutines. They appear to be sporadic/random, not happening every time through. I've double-confirmed that my subroutines are not declared with prototypes. Is this a common problem? What would have triggered it all of a sudden. Most/all of my subs use the DBI/Apache::DBI interface to get data from a Pg database, populate an HTML::Template, and display it. Thoughts? -Fran
Re: Problems with Apache-AuthCookie mod_perl 1.99

The first thing that I hit was $r-connection-user is deprecated. I've changed these to $r-user. The next hurdle is that the status code REDIRECT does not seen to be Apache::Constants. mod_perl 2 doesn't have Apache::Constants. You should use: use Apache::Const -compile = qw(... REDIRECT ..); Good luck on porting it to mod_perl 2! once you get it to work, it would be great if you could contribute it to the community! -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Can mod_perl help me use ENV variables in httpd.conf?

I spoke too soon.
I need:
Perl
push Alias, [ qw(/cgi-bin/chimpkit/ $ENV{SERVER_ROOT}/cgi-
bin/chimpkit/) ];
/Perl
This does not appear to be possible because there's no way to
pass in SERVER_ROOT to the apache startup.
I think the problem is your Perl syntax, not the value of the
variable. Scalars do not interpolate in qw() constructs. Try
this instead:
Perl
push Alias, '/cgi-bin/chimpkit/', $ENV{SERVER_ROOT}/cgi-
bin/chimpkit/;
/Perl
or even
Perl
push Alias, '/cgi-bin/chimpkit/',
$r-server_root_relative . '/cgi-bin/chimpkit/';
