Basic Auth logout
this has been asked before, and I've found in the archives there is no way I could have a logout page for the Basic Auth in apache. Is there nothing I can do ?

The purpose was to keep working if one server was down. Pen is a load balancer for simple TCP-based protocols such as HTTP or SMTP. It allows several servers to appear as one to the outside. It automatically detects servers that are down and distributes clients among the available servers. This gives high availability and scalable performance. http://siag.nu/pen/

This is RH8.0, and it comes with apache2 and mod_perl-1.99 Was your Perl built with gcc-3.2?

I'm gonna build it, but I don't think it'll work FWIW I've attached my mod_perl.h (from mod_perl-1.27 sources); as you can see in my file the line which your compiler is complaining about seems to be just another typedef like the others in that part of the I tried with different mod_perl versions, the one that came with RH7.3 and I made the rpm hacking thingie with mod_perl-1.27 from CPAN.

apache dies silently at start with perl-5.6.1 rpm

the object still does not exists in Apache::Session
This is an old issue. I recall having patched Apache:Session
so it evals when restoring objects from the Data Store.
When the database of sessions is cleaned the server
dies with Object does not exist in the data store
I just installed a server and I had to patch it myself again.
Am I the only one who has this problem ?
Is there something I'm missing ?
Anyway here is the code I changed to Session.pm
#If a session ID was passed in, this is an old hash.
#If not, it is a fresh one.
if (defined $session_id) {
$self-{status} = ($self-{status} ^ NEW);
eval {
$self-restore;

if ($@ =~ /Object does not exists/) {
$session_id = undef;

New Module (was Re: RFC: Apache::Request::Forms (or something similar))
I have my own module for doing this job, sorry I missed many
posts of this thread but here is what I do:
- The target is automatically : add , update, select data
from a table reading data typed by the user.
- I didn't want to use the Apache api, so it even can be
used out of apache, so I called it : Persistence::DBI
thought I don't like this name much.
In This example I work with HTML::Mason, but as
I said before it can be used from whatever thingie, even
out of the web.
I'm using currently this in production sites and it saves
me a lot of work.
EXAMPLE OF CODE:
It's a little harder than this but you'll get the idea:
##customer.html###3
%init
# Make the object
my $customer=Persistence::DBI-open(
table = 'customers',
field_id = 'idCustomer'
field_data = \%ARGS
);
if (defined $_delete) {
$customer-delete;
}
/%init
## The html form is this way:
form
input type="text" name="name" value="% $customer-name %"
input type="text" name="phone" value="% $customer-phone %"
input type="submit" name="_save" value="save"
% if (defined $customer-idCustomer) {
input type="hidden" name="idCustomer"
value="% $customer-idCustomer %"
input type="submit" name="_delete" value="delete"
% }
/form
It works this way:
- if you supply the value of the id field it does a select
- if you supply all the fields but the id, it does an insert
- if you supply id and fields it does an update
Before calling the object you can check the values supplied
by the user to verify the values are correct.
If you modify values of the object it updates the data.
I'll accept name changes and I'll send the module to
whoever wants it. I checked it with MySQL and SQL server.
The module come with pods and it installs fine like any
other module.It needs the field_id be auto increment.

Jean-Denis Girard wrote: Hi dear modperlers, We have a client here willing to use Domino to serve his Web site. I started considering Domino a while ago. My conclusion was to flee from it. I haven't used it and these were the opinions of real programmers that used it.

They had to install alphas with NT. - It does not farming. If you install domino you'll end up having a lot of domains, one for every section of your web, each one in a server. Your users will go crazy searching dead links and asking you what server holds now the pages they were using. Because you'll start moving databases to a new server as soon as the older started die of resources. - Amazing lack of features, the API to the web server maybe exists but no developer I talked to knew nothing about sending headers, internal redirects and so. I was comparing to mod_perl, and HTML::Mason, the dhandler and autohander stuff was very important for me and I wanted something like this. I didn't find it. - It does not SQL, building an application for the web with domino takes a big effort of analising, programming and maintaining. A thing that would be very easy with a SQL database can be very hard or impossible to do with domino. I was told is hard to feed such a database from 3rd party data. And if you must add more data again to domino is harder again. - It's impossible to separate content from formatting. - You don't embed a language in HTML, you ask domino about inserting html inside your code. My conclusion was it's no good for web programming. I went to a super human software lotus show and it was very disapointing, a lot of vapourware. I thought it must be very bad when they admitted nested tables didn't work at all in domino 4.x, and started working at 5.0. In addition I must say mod_perl has a lot of features never dreamed by people that use Domino or IIS+ASP. I have asked to other programmers friends of mine who use these platforms, no one uses mod_perl and they think their tools are far better than mine and easier to use. I quit advocacing mod_perl.
