Unregister streamed output filters
Hello all, is there a way to unregister a streamed filter? I have seen this in many (all?) apache (C programmed) filters; they are able of declining the filtering of a certain stream, for example, when they do not know how to handle a certain content type. In the apache api this is done with ap_remove_output_filter(f). Is there something similar in mp2? Thanks in advance!! E s t eb a n! :wq
Re: development techniques
Do you develop with an xterm tailing the logs, an emacs window (or other
editor) to edit the script and/or the packages (and on some occassions
httpd.conf), and a web browser (on an alternate virtual desktop)? Do you
pepper code with :
print option: . $option{$foo . br if $debug;
Fairly low tech, huh.
HI Jim,
I do this all the time ... but have tried to extend the tracing
technique.
I use a Tracer object that:
* captures a small amount of meta-info like the caller()
* prints out an object's internal state - all objects inherit a toString()
method which prints out a DataDumper-like snapshot
This is during development ... when something moves to production
I try *not* to use traditional logging ... mainly because bugs can be
missed, and I can't rely on trawling through the logs to find a
bug, instead - all major Exceptions turn into an email which is seen by at
least two people.
This means bugs don't go undetected for long - the idea is, the
more a bug is 'seen/tangible' the better the chance of stopping it
(http://london.pm.org/tech_talks/21_nov_2002/nigel/).
Finally for testing during development each major object has a
test script. For example:
testwebbrowser.pl - WebBrowser.pm
testtrawler.pl - Trawler.pm
The script acts as a test harness for the Object. This has reduced
the amount of time spent looking for bugs. The 'test first' methodology,
borrowed from XP, seems to be working - the next step will be to put the
individual test scripts into a Unit testing framework (e.g., Junit) and
run a daily battery of tests ...

Also, speaking as someone who earns money in a non-US currency, having a less expensive place to stay at is much nicer. I am sure the self-employed in the US also feel similarly...

San Diego was gorgeous, and the hotel was nice, but I didn't rent a car, and just doing stuff like getting to the city for lunch (on the days when lunch wasn't served) was a giant PITA, compounded by the fact that I'm vegan, so I can't go just anywhere and be guaranteed that they'll have something I'd want.

Problem combining mod_proxy, mod_rewrite mod_perl
G'day!
I would like to combine mod_proxy, mod_rewrite and mod_perl on an Apache
2.0.43 for Windows with mod_perl 2.0. The Perl Version I use is
ActiveState 5.6.1.
Just by loading the module the server behaves differently. Instead
seeing the the reverse proxied site I get following error in the browser:
-
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET
/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/.
Reason: Max-Forwards has reached zero - proxy loop?
-
It seems as if the rewrite rules are applied in a recursive loop. The
rewrite.log does support this.
Any ideas why this is happening and how can I get the config running again.
Regards Jan

No one seems to have mentioned WWW::Mechanize (or if they have I've missed
it.) It's a simple module that allows you to interact with LWP like it's
a web browser (i.e. click on that link, enter these values into the form,
etc) abstracting away the actual parsing of the HTML.
Links:
http://www.perladvent.org/2002/16th/

It's quite easy to integrate this with a test suite. You can start doing
things like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# turn on the safety features
use strict;
use warnings;
# declare three tests
use Test::More tests = 3;
# create a new web browser
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $browser = WWW::Mechanize-new();
# see if we can get the front page of search.cpan.org
$browser-get(http://search.cpan.org/;);
ok($browser-{res}-is_success, search.cpan.org);
# see if we can get a search page back
$browser-form(1);
$browser-field(query,Acme::Buffy);
$browser-click();
ok($browser-{res}-is_success, module listing back);
# something that will fail
$browser-get(http://2shortplanks.com/nosuchurl;);
ok($browser-{res}-is_success, no such url);
This prints out:

ok 1 - search.cpan.org
ok 2 - module listing back
not ok 3 - no such url

Re: mod_perl invokation valid?
Thanks for your quick response. I was informed that we were not running mod Perl, but at the same time the env hash indicated we were, so I really was not clear. Sorry. So, I'll try and clarify my question. We would like to take advantage of caching with PERL, and make use of the DBI packages as well. It would seem that there is duplicity that needs to be resolved here. The env hash for apache indicates we're running Perl ver 5.00503. I installed ver 5.8 to get the DBI stuff working. The mod_perl is part of the apache configuration that was there when I came on board. It would seem to me that we need to upgrade the apache/Perl relationship so that the env hash and programs recognize Perl 5.8. Question: Do I need to recompile anything, or are there just a couple httpd vars that I could change so that we can cache Perl 5.8? I've got some other apps that use CGI and HTTP modules associated with perl 5.00503. They don't appear to work with PERL 5.8 as configured on my machine. I'd like to get these working with PERL 5.8 as well. Another related question: Just to understand part of your response.

Re: An URL is not Invoking the Anticipated Perl Module [mp2]
To: Stas Bekman [or anyone else]; For the purpose of clarifying the issue, are you saying there is contention between the two handlers which are declared within the httpd.conf, as it has been setup in this case? That is, since a handler has been declared within by the directory section [/var/www/perl] and another for the location [/CurrDate], the two handlers are contenting against the one other? Therefore, in this case, although Location /CurrDate has been defined, the default handler Directory /var/www/perl is overriding the CurrDate name space[!?] Would someone please clarify. From studying this further, I noticed I forgot to prefix the Location /CurrDate section with a PerlModule directive. Consequently, the following line has been added to the perl.conf file. PerModule: MyApache::CurrDate However, now, with this addition, when starting the Apache the following exception is genereated: httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: [Fri Jan 10 12:11:15 2003] [error] Can't locate MyApache/CurrDate.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /var/www/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache2 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at (eval 4) line 3. You'll notice from this message, the path does include '/var/www/perl' and the perl module which is being called is within the '/var/www/perl/MyApache/' directory. (For good measure it was also placed within '/var/www/perl' without a resolution to the run time exception.) Incidentally, the format of the configuration file which is being used in this case has been adapted from the article Introducting mod_perl Handlers. I've also been using Getting Your Feet Wet with mod_perl. These resources can be respectfully found at http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/intro.html#What_are_Handlers_ and http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html#Handler_Modules I found these to be very helpful for a newcomer. This later article was especially beneficial for it connected several fregmented thoughts together [at least in my own learning curve] into good concise working document. In my case, I found it helpful to get a perl script working [as a first measure] and then proceed to the use of a response handler. However, I did run across a problem with how the perl script name space was defined. The first example [in the article Getting Your Feet Wet] would not work when I used the syntax PerlResponseHandler Modperl::Registry nor PerlResponseHandler Modperl::Registry::handler. Consequently, I changed the format to PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler and then my test script was able to run. Consequently, at this stage, a few questions remain. 1) Since, at least in this situation, I had to adapt the handler from being PerlResponseHandler to PerlHandler in order to get the perl scripting to work, does that also mean the same adaptation will be necessary in order to yield a result from a reponse handler for the CurrDate.pm module? 2) Once again, how do I instruct Apache to properly locate the CurrDate.pm file? [Stas, you may have already given me the answer to this latter question but more clarity is still needed.] 3) When I include the provision of the line PerModule: MyApache::CurrDate within the perl.conf file, Apache throws an exception and failed to start. Does this line need to be included, or something similiar to it, in order to Apache to locate the perl module? [Remember again, in this situation, a startup.pl script has been delcared in order to provide a library to search for perl modules.] The reason I'm asking this question is because the Introducing mod_perl Handlers article uses this convention while the Getting Your Feet Wet with mod_perl omitts this line. The environment is RH 8.0, Apache 2.0.40, mod_perl 1.99_05-dev, and Perl 5.8.0. [For those who are interested, the original post includes a complete copy of perf.conf and CurrDate.pm.] I have been piecing together various web resources but remain uncertain how to procede. Further help is appreciated. Stas, you have already replied to this once, and to another setup problem for which I was having. I am grateful. Thank you.

Re: An URL is not Invoking the Anticipated Perl Module [mp2]
Steve, please don't throw more than one question into the same email. It makes it really hard to followup. Please post each question separately. Steve D wrote: For the purpose of clarifying the issue, are you saying there is contention between the two handlers which are declared within the httpd.conf, as it has been setup in this case? That is, since a handler has been declared within by the directory section [/var/www/perl] and another for the location [/CurrDate], the two handlers are contenting against the one other? Therefore, in this case, although Location /CurrDate has been defined, the default handler Directory /var/www/perl is overriding the CurrDate name space[!?] Would someone please clarify. Eh? Did you: s/per-script/perl-script/ and tried again? From studying this further, I noticed I forgot to prefix the Location /CurrDate section with a PerlModule directive. Consequently, the following line has been added to the perl.conf file. PerModule: MyApache::CurrDate However, now, with this addition, when starting the Apache the following exception is genereated: httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: [Fri Jan 10 12:11:15 2003] [error] Can't locate MyApache/CurrDate.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /var/www/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache2 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at (eval 4) line 3. You'll notice from this message, the path does include '/var/www/perl' and the perl module which is being called is within the '/var/www/perl/MyApache/' directory. (For good measure it was also placed within '/var/www/perl' without a resolution to the run time exception.) There was a bug in older mod_perl versions, and you'd get the Can't locate module error when in fact, the module has failed to compile. Please try again with the cvs version. Incidentally, the format of the configuration file which is being used in this case has been adapted from the article Introducting mod_perl Handlers. I've also been using Getting Your Feet Wet with mod_perl. These resources can be respectfully found at http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/intro.html#What_are_Handlers_ and http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html#Handler_Modules I found these to be very helpful for a newcomer. Great. This later article was especially beneficial for it connected several fregmented thoughts together [at least in my own learning curve] into good concise working document. In my case, I found it helpful to get a perl script working [as a first measure] and then proceed to the use of a response handler. However, I did run across a problem with how the perl script name space was defined. The first example [in the article Getting Your Feet Wet] would not work when I used the syntax PerlResponseHandler Modperl::Registry nor PerlResponseHandler Modperl::Registry::handler. Consequently, I changed the format to PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler and then my test script was able to run. It should work with 'PerlResponseHandler Modperl::Registry'. What was the error message (please start a new thread on this one, don't continue here) Consequently, at this stage, a few questions remain. 1) Since, at least in this situation, I had to adapt the handler from being PerlResponseHandler to PerlHandler in order to get the perl scripting to work, does that also mean the same adaptation will be necessary in order to yield a result from a reponse handler for the CurrDate.pm module? 2) Once again, how do I instruct Apache to properly locate the CurrDate.pm file?

Re: Unregister streamed output filters
Esteban Fernandez Stafford wrote: Hello all, is there a way to unregister a streamed filter? I have seen this in many (all?) apache (C programmed) filters; they are able of declining the filtering of a certain stream, for example, when they do not know how to handle a certain content type. In the apache api this is done with ap_remove_output_filter(f). Is there something similar in mp2? Not at this moment, but hopefully it'll be supported soon. Since you need this feature, telling us in what situation you'd like to remove a filter will help us to build a better test case and provide a good real-world example for documentation. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

Correct ModPerl::RegistryCooker to reset %INC, after compile for .pl
files which don't declare the package + add tests to check that [Stas]

compatibility [Stas]
port the support for NameWithVirtualHost in ModPerl::RegistryCooker
and ModPerl::RegistryLoader [Stas]
fix the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker, add
a test to verify that [Stas]
under non-threaded perl need to check whether mod_perl is running,
when modperl_vhost_is_running check is done. [Stas]
fix $r-read to read all the requested amount of data if possible,
adjust the test TestApache::read to verify that [Stas]
fix the method content() in Apache::compat to read a whole request
body. same for ModPerl::Test::read_post. add tests. [Stas]
Adjust the reverse filter test to work on win32 (remove trailing \r)
[Randy Kobes [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Strongly suggest win32 users to upgrade to 5.8.0, if they run 5.6.x
[Randy Kobes [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
When installing the mod_perl shared object, first need to check
whether the directory 'modules' already exists, and create it if not.
[Randy Kobes [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Add a capability to tune the test configuration sections ordering
in Apache::TestConfigPerl [Stas Bekman]
fix the complaining code about late PerlSwitches when PerlLoadModule
is used before it [Stas Bekman]
add various tests that exercise PerlLoadModule and vhosts
[Stas Bekman]
handle correctly PerlLoadModules (directives) with vhosts:
- handle gracefully cases when things are undef/NULL
- handle the case when scfg==NULL, by stealing the base_servers's config
[Stas Bekman]
make mod_perl work with vhosts when the server is started prior to
post_config():
- call modperl_init_globals as early as possible, because the main server
record is needed during the configuration parsing, for perlloadmodule
and vhosts

[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
add an Apache::SIG backcompat stub to Apache::compat [Stas Bekman]
fix the Apache::TestConfigPerl's run_apache_test_config() function
where test packages are scanned for the magic APACHE_TEST_CONFIGURE
and if found get require()'d. Apache2 needs to be run for mod_perl
2.0. [Stas Bekman]
move the custom mod_perl 2.0 configuration bits out of the
ModPerl::TestRun, where they don't belong, into a special config file
which is included at the very end of httpd.conf [Stas Bekman]
extend Apache::Test to allow extra configuration files to be included
at the very end of httpd.conf, when everything was loaded and
configured [Stas Bekman]

when the package name is bogus. [Stas Bekman]
Apache::Reload: add support for watching and reloading modules only in
specified sub-dirs [Harry Danilevsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
enable APR.pm's linking for apr 0.9.2 and higher, which uses a new lib
naming scheme, such as libapr-0.so.0.9.2, only if apr-config and
apu-config scripts exist. [Stas Bekman]
define IoTYPE_RDONLY/IoTYPE_WRONLY for perl-5.6.0 so the project
