I already knew these snippets before my posting. But I think  they
don't fit my problem, because some of the scripts (not written by me)
I have to maintain  behave differently depending if the request was
GET or POST. So I can't simply transform the POST requests into GET
requests. One of the requirements I've got by my boss is to avoid
bigger modifications to third party scripts to do not restrict
upgradability, so I can't simply change the script.

Is there a way to use mod_perl to filter POST data, that has been sent to
a binary program, that expects a POST request?

Thanks in advance,
Alexander Haeckel

controling POST input with mod_perl

2000-11-28 Thread Alexander Haeckel


Hi there,

I want to control the way a CGI program works by modifying the
parameters passed to it within a FixupHandler. For GET requests
everything works fine. But for POST requests the parameters seem to be
deleted after reading them. If the CGI program is a Perl script I get
the parameters within $r-pnotes to a modified Apache::PerlRun.pm as
PerlHandler to solve the problem. 

How can I get the parameters to a binary CGI program?

Thank you for your help,
Alexander
