Knowing the connection status
Hi list, I'm currently working on a project that uses a closed source C api. I know the functions and what they return but have no clue what happends in the background. To be able to use this with mod_perl I've made a module using perlxs that basicly is a wrapper around the API's functions. This API connects to a server and can only handle one connection at the time so my wrapper needs to know if it is connected and avoid connecting again if it allready is connected. There is no reasonable way I can test my connection status, ie there is no get_connection_status or equivalent function I can call. Trying to fetch or send data if there is no connection will force me to wait for the timeout which I can't do since all scripts using the API will be extremly slow then. The connect function is very slow too, it takes a few secs to do the connect so I don't want to do extra connects either, plus it seems to result in core dumps when I try to do connect if I'm allready connected. I was first thinking about using a global variable in the wrapper's connect function but I'm not sure what would happend if the script crashes, will the httpd process die and the global variable be reseted or will it be set to CONNECTED when the next request comes to that child? So to stop my ramble and get on with my question, how should I approach this in a way that guarantees that I'll only do connect/disconnect if needed and also be able to keep track of my status in a safe way? If you're thinking refuse to do it, go to the makers of the API and beat them untill they fix it up or snort/strace the API and make your own API based of what they send, I've allready thought about it and I've come to the conclusion they're not options :) /Jon
RE: Can't locate object method new via package Apache::Request (via Mason)...
You need to set Mason up better - probably. I'm an avid Mason user, and I've seen this a fair few times. If you want help, you're most likely to get it on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. However if you want to tell me the version of mason you're using it might help. You could use a mason-handler.pl with Mason 1.12 ( or 1.15) and the new Lexer / Compiller components. There should be a require statement in your httpd.conf. This gives you better control over data structures, variable scopes, and an opportunity to handle persistent database connections better in the handler.

Trouble using mod_perl and IE5.x, IE6.x
Hi, I'm using Apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.26 and perl 5.6.1 on a HPUX 11 system. My program genarate HTML page with perl cgi.

If you have a C global variable, it is local to the process. If your Perl code dies or exits, the http process will go and take that variable with it. If you catch a die in an eval, the variable will stay, of course. Are you saying that each client side can only have one connection, or is the server limited to one connection? OIf that is the case, you would need a system-global status in an intermediate server (between Apache and whatever the API talks to). So to stop my ramble and get on with my question, how should I approach this in a way that guarantees that I'll only do connect/disconnect if needed and also be able to keep track of my status in a safe way? If you're thinking refuse to do it, go to the makers of the API and beat them untill they fix it up or snort/strace the API and make your own API based of what they send, I've allready thought about it and I've come to the conclusion they're not options :) If you have one connection per client, you can do lazy evaluation, i.e. connect whenever works needs to be done, and cache the connection until the Apache process exits.

Re: Getting the server to parse files after the handler has doneits work...
I think you can only do this in Apache 2.0. In Apache 1.3 you can chain perl modules with OutputChain, but you can't chain a perl module and another apache module.

interesting. the last time I tried was with bleedperl before 5.8 was
released - I know it worked then because I was writing a patch for
mod_perl core based on it. this thread has most of the dialogue:
Hrm. Well, not sure how the :method attribute is implemented, but what
I was trying to do was create a :Profiled attribute handler. So in my
base class I had:
use Attribute::Handlers;
sub Profiled ATTR(CODE) { ... }
and in a subclass:
sub foo :Profiled {
}
but I was never able to get the Profiled handler to get called. I
looked into Attribute::Handlers and it has INIT and CHECK blocks that
set up the handlers in it, so I suspected this might be the problem.
Doug claims that CHECK blocks dont work because perl calls CHECK blocks
during perl_parse(), which only happens once at startup. So he said
that it doesnt work for the same reason that:
perl -e 'eval qq(CHECK { print hello world })'
doesnt work.
I tried just putting a CHECK block with a warn in my application, and it
is true that the the CHECK block never gets called. So given that it
seems impossible that the Attribute::Handlers module can work under
mod_perl.
Given that though, I dont doubt that the :method handler works for you
:). Maybe this is implemented as a special case in mod_perl??

RE: Can't locate object method new via package Apache::Request (via Mason)...
What version of perl ?
Post 1.12 Mason has problems with perl 5.6.0 I believe ( or maybe .1 as
well )
You're quite right about the problem not necessarily being a mason one.
However as a mason user - you're likely to get help there all the same on
things that are border line mason ( the new Request object is created IN
ApacheHanler.pm )
Try this:
Change your httpd.conf to use a mason-handler.
Create a mason-handler.pl in either your @INC or your apache root.
I put mine in the later ( /etc/httpd/ on my system ).
Make sure the ownership / permissions of the mason-handler allow execution
( chmod +x if you must )
httpd.conf
-
PerlRequire mason-handler.pl
Directory /var/virtual/www.mason-site.com
FilesMatch \.(html|js|css)$
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason
/FilesMatch
/Directory
mason-handler.pl
-
package HTML::Mason;
use HTML::Mason;
use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler();
use strict;
my $ah = new HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler (
comp_root='/var/virtual/www.mason-site.com/'
data_dir='/var/virtual/HTML-Mason/data'
);
chown ( 99, 99, $ah-interp-files_written );
{
package HTML::Mason::Commands;
use HTML::Entities;
use vars qw($global1 $global2 $global3);
$_escape = sub { my $text = join '', @_;
HTML::Mason::Escapes::basic_html_escape(\$text); return $text }
}
1;
sub handler
{
my ($r) = @_;
return -1 if $r-content_type $r-content_type =~ m|^image/|i;
$ah-handle_request($r);
}
==
That's akin to what we use.
Obviously change the /var/virtual to whatever you use as your root - and
HTML-Mason is just where I wanted to keep our data for cache and stuff.
The $globals are just examples.
Once you've done this - let me know if you still get the same problem.
Remember to keep copies of all files you change.
I'd advice RCS/CVS ( i use the former ) for things like httpd.conf if you
want to keep it tidy.
Regards
Gareth

RE: Can't locate object method new via package Apache::Request (via Mason)...SOLVED
Thanks to Tim, Gareth, and Phillippe: OK, I'll start with the solution to the problem and then drag on a bit for how I found it. The problem was the location of a shared object file for the Apache Request object. A file called libapreq.so.1 was located in /usr/local/lib (should have been in /usr/lib), which was ok for the test script that Phillippe gave me and the one-liner that Gareth gave me, but was apparently NOT ok for Mason in the context of mod_perl. I didn't figure this out until I tried Tim's suggestion of preloading the Apache::Request module inside of httpd.conf. I ended up getting this thing: Syntax error on line 362 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so' for module Apache::Request: libapreq.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/mod_perl.pm line 14 Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3. This isn't the most helpful error message in the world. However, I knew Request.so and libapreq.so.1 were installed, but I didn't know if they were in places that the server process expected them to be. So did a search for all the shared object files and noticed libapreq.so.1 file was sitting all by itself in /usr/local/lib, while about a billion other shared object files were inside of /usr/lib. I moved libapreq.so.1 to the place where all the other cool shared object files hung out, crossed my fingers, and booya! It worked. Apprently something about the way I configured the installation for libapreq was not very Mason friendly. Anyway, thanks again for the help.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache::ASP v2.47 released
Hey,
Apache::ASP v2.47 is released to CPAN. It is a major upgrade
with significant speed improvements of 15-20% for script execution.
As this is a major release, please be sure to read the CHANGES
and test your sites before upgrading. The CHANGES are listed below.
For more info on Apache::ASP, please see http://www.apache-asp.org
Regards,
Josh
Josh Chamas, Founder phone:925-552-0128
Chamas Enterprises Inc.http://www.chamas.com
NodeWorks Link Checkinghttp://www.nodeworks.com
$MODULE=Apache::ASP; $VERSION = 2.47; $DATE=11/6/2002
Please see README for changes for past versions.
+ = improvement;- = bug fix;(d) = documentation
++ Runtime speed enhancements for 15-20% improvement including:
+ INTERNAL API ReadFile() now returns scalar ref as memory optimization
+ cache InodeNames config setting in ASP object now for common lookups
+ removed CompileChecksum() INTERNAL API, since it was an unnecesary
method decomposition along a common code path
+ removed IsChanged() INTERNAL API since compiling of scripts
is now handled by CompileInclude() which does this functionality already
+ removed unnecessary decomp of IncludesChanged() INTERNAL API, which was along
critical code path
+ do not call INTERNAL SearchDirs() API when compiling base script
since we have already validated its path earlier
+ Use stat(_) type shortcut for stat() -X calls where possible
+ Moved INC initilization up to handler() consolidated with $INCDir lib
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Collection::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Server::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::GlobalASA::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Response::DESTROY
- Default path for $Response-{Cookies} was from CookiePath
config, but this was incorrect as CookiePath config is only
for $Session cookie, so now path for $Response-{Cookies}
defaults to /
- Fixed bug where global.asa events would get undefined with
StatINC and GlobalPackage set when the GlobalPackage library
changed get reloaded.
(d) Documented long time config NoCache.
-- Fixed use with Apache::Filter, capable as both source
and destination filter. Added ./site/eg/filter.filter example
to demonstrate these abilities.
+ Use $r-err_headers_out-add Apache::Table API for cookies
now instead of $r-cgi_header_out. Added t/cookies.t test to
cover new code path as well as general $Response-Cookies API.
Also make cookies headers sorted by cookie and dictionary key
while building headers for repeatable behavior, this latter was
to facilitate testing.
- fixed $Server-Mail error_log output when failing to connect
to SMTP server.
+ added tests to cover UniquePackages NoCache configs since this
config logic was updated
+ made deprecated warnings for use of certain $Response-Member
calls more loadly write to error_log, so I can remove the AUTOLOAD
for Response one day
- Probably fixed behavior in CgiHeaders, at least under perl 5.8.0, and
added t/cgi_headers.t to cover this config.
+ removed $Apache::ASP::CompressGzip setting ability, used to possibly
set CompressGzip in the module before, not documented anyway
+ removed $Apache::ASP::Filter setting ability to set Filter globally,
not documented anyway
+ removed old work around for setting ServerStarting to 0
at runtime, which was bad for Apache::DBI on win32 a long
time ago:
$Apache::ServerStarting and $Apache::ServerStarting = 0;
If this code is still needed in Apache::ASP-handler() let
me know.
+ check to make sure data in internal database is a HASH ref
before using it for session garbage collection. This is to
help prevent against internal database corruption in a
network share that does not support flock() file locking.
+ For new XMLSubs ASP type %= % argument interpolation
activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, data references can now
be passed in addition to SCALAR/string references, so one
can pass an object reference like so:
my:tag value=%= $Object % /
This will only work as long as the variable interpolation %= %
are flushed against the containing or ' ', or else the object
reference will be stringified when it is concatenated with
the rest of the data.
Testing for this feature was added to ./t/xmlsubs_aspargs.t
This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
so feedback is appreciated.
+ For new XMLSubs ASP type %= % argument interpolation
activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, % % will no longer work,
just %= %, as in
my:tag value=some value %= $value % more data /
This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
so feedback is

Re: Can't locate object method new via package Apache::Request (via Mason)...SOLVED
As a quick follow-up, the PerlModule Apache::Request line is NOT needed in the httpd.conf file for Mason to work. However, it was a very valuable debugging tool. That wasn't really the purpose, though. The purpose was to pre-load the module in the parent apache process for efficiency. My suggestion did come about because it appeared that Apache::Request wasn't being loaded at all. I'm not exacly sure how that happened as Mason's ApacheRequest attempts to require() Apache::Request a couple of places. But just the same, my suggestion to pre-load Apache::Request, as well as any other lib you normally use, stands.

NTLM Authentication patch
We recently installed AuthenNTLM where I work, and ran into the POST
problems described in the thread at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=10317736546r=1w=2
After looking through a couple of network traces I think I've found the
problem. It appears that after IE authenticates via NTLM, it sends type 1
messages for subsequent requests during a keepalive session. This is fine
and dandy unless you're sending a POST request - when it sends the type 1
message, it also sends a Content-length: 0, and doesn't append the POST
data. Since the browser has successfully authenticated itself earlier in
the keepalive session, AuthenNTLM validates the request and a POST with no
accompanying POST data gets passed to the server.
Attached is a patch against the 0.21 release that fixes this behavior (in
our environment, at any rate). I know very little about NTLM
authentication and mod_perl coding, so the patch may not be entirely
correct.

Suspected Apache::AuthenNTLM Bug
I believe that there is a bug in the Apache::AuthenNTLM module. Configuration: I have an Apache server with ColdFusion MX 6 installed, there is a requirement for NTLM authentication with the server. I implemented the PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNTLM to solve this problem. Problem: With ColdFusion you can call the same page eg the line_main2.cfm can be called from the line_main2.cfm with different parameters. Unfortunately the client PC does not seem to pass the NTLM/Basic Authorization Header the second time the page is called. An error appears in the error.log [Fri Nov 8 09:03:58 2002] [error] access to /cf_dev/objectives/line_main2.cfm failed for , reason: Bad/Missing NTLM/Basic Authorization Header for /cf_dev/objectives/line_main2.cfm Configuration: Apache::AuthenNTLM (version 0.21) Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) httpd.conf Alias /cf_dev/objectives/ /baewwwroot/cf_dev/objectives/ Directory /baewwwroot/cf_dev/objectives Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNTLM AuthType ntlm AuthName Windows Authentication Required require valid-user PerlAddVar ntdomain BAEA baeapdc sbntfp1 PerlAddVar ntdomain BAEADEV bantdev1 PerlSetVar defaultdomain BAEA /Directory -- Brett Hales

Re: use http-equiv to refresh the page
No, that's server push you're thinking of. NPH (non-parsed header) scripts are CGI scripts that talk directly to the client without the server parsing headers and adding others (like the one that says it's Apache). My bad. It was. But I think one needs to use NPH scripts to generate server push documents, IIRC. Which is why I was thinking about it. Normally, mod_cgi adds the response line and certain other headers, so it parses your output. This is the same as using mod_perl with the PerlSendHeader option on. NPH script behave like mod_perl with PerlSendHeader off. Trust me, you want to leave all the VMS, EBCDIC, and MSIE weirdness related to sending headers in the right order, checking values, including extras for broken browsers, and the all-important CRLF-CRLF header separator, et al. to CGI.pm.

Re: Suspected Apache::AuthenNTLM Bug
Hi there, On 8 Nov 2002, Brett Hales wrote: I believe that there is a bug in the Apache::AuthenNTLM module. Did you see this? 73, Ged. -- Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 17:46:15 -0600 (CST) From: Gerald Combs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NTLM Authentication patch We recently installed AuthenNTLM where I work, and ran into the POST problems described in the thread at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=10317736546r=1w=2 After looking through a couple of network traces I think I've found the problem. It appears that after IE authenticates via NTLM, it sends type 1 messages for subsequent requests during a keepalive session. This is fine and dandy unless you're sending a POST request - when it sends the type 1 message, it also sends a Content-length: 0, and doesn't append the POST data. Since the browser has successfully authenticated itself earlier in the keepalive session, AuthenNTLM validates the request and a POST with no accompanying POST data gets passed to the server. Attached is a patch against the 0.21 release that fixes this behavior (in our environment, at any rate). I know very little about NTLM authentication and mod_perl coding, so the patch may not be entirely correct.
RE: Trouble using mod_perl and IE5.x, IE6.x
Greetings. Now this is OT'ish but... print(titleTITRE DE LA PAGE\/title); Why are you escaping all your '/'s? There is no need to do it. Cheers, alf P.S: I strongly suspect that the sleep call and its position (what if you move it above the /body tag?) are to blame for the behavior you see (i.e. I'd bet you are triggering some timeout in IE). But that's only gut feeling.
