My memory is quite vague about it but I think they used to throw in a set of free ginsu knives (think sushi) for people who would buy some crap on the TV shopping program. The general idea of ginsu knives is to entice prospects (mason users) to adopt a product (Mason 1.15) more readily by adding to the package an unrelated free bonus (Dave's joke about ginsu knives ;-).

long background tasks
Hello,
Were are trying to run long a task (DB import) from a HTML::Mason page
and are trying to send an immediate response to the user while the task
is running. Here is our pseudo-code:
%init
sub long_running_task {
# lottsa long, boring stuff
}
$r-puch_handlers(PerlCleanupHandler=\long_running_task($myarg));
/%init
The rest of the page sends back HTML. The problem is that it _not_ sent
back until the long_running_task function has completed.
I thought that when registering a code ref in that way the sub{} would
not be called until later during the PerlCleanupHandler phase.
Am I missing something, is there a better way to do it?
Thanks in advance for your insight,

[OT] strange mod_rewrite behaviour (for Apache::Session support)
Hello,
I am in the process of implementing persistent sessions using
Apache::Session with the session_id stored in the URL and it mostly
works. In the HTML::Mason autohandler there is the following filter:
%filter
$r-pnotes("cookie") # mangle URL only if cookie is missing
|| s#\bhref\s*=\s*"(/(?!S=)[^"\s]*)"#href="/S=$session{_session_id}$1"#gi;
/%filter
... which adds the session_id to all href links, only if the browser
doesn't return any cookie.
Now in httpd.conf there is a mod_rewrite rule inspired by a recent
thread on the modperl list:
RewriteRule ^/S=([^/]+)(/.*) $2 [E=AF_SID:$1]
This removes the session_id from the URL and adds it to the AF_SID
environment variable. This works well for all absolute URLs (starting
with a /) which is puzzling because I remember reading in this thread
that this technique mandated _relative_ URLs.
The rewrite rule fails only in one case, the root URL:
http://my.site.com/S=1d2e580af1e31cf2/Sell/index.html
... is correctly converted to
http://my.site.com/Sell/index.html
... *but*
http://my.site.com/S=1d2e580af1e31cf2/
... fails with a 404 NOT FOUND error
From the rewrite log:
127.0.0.1 - - [23/Jul/2000:15:57:31 +0200] [apartia.int/sid#815769c][rid#8149464

/initial] (1) go-ahead with / [OK]
[Sun Jul 23 15:57:31 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /
... so after tinkering with various mod_rewrite options for a while I
changed the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^/S=([^/]+)(/.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$2 [E=AF_SID:$1]
... and now everything works fine.
But I'm still not happy because I don't understand _why_ it works.
Please let me know if you have a rational explanation.
TIA

hang with $r-internal_redirect

hangs:

$r-method_number(M_GET);
$r-headers_in-unset('Content-length');

However when I try an internal_redirect from a GET it works but HTTP
headers are sent twice (at least) and get printed in the HTML page.

That should do it. I don't think that'll return the error page
stating that you need access to continue, instead that should pass a
header (I think two actually) to the browser signaling it to prompt the
user.
Another alternative would be to have the user redirected to a
login page with good old fashion forms. ;) Good luck. --SC
Yes this would be preferable, but I wanted to do this as a mod_perl
understanding exercise.
The required headers to trigger the browser login popup are:
$r-err_header_out('WWW-Authenticate', 'Basic realm="Base de données LNC"');
my ($res, $pw) = $r-get_basic_auth_pw;
and then check for $res and $pw to determine if the user has tried to login

emulating Basic Auth from Mason
I have this component which both displays and updates a database. If the user wants to update a record I'd like the following to happen: 1) detect in the component that a DB update is attempted, 2) check if the user is already logged in by checking for login/password presence in the Apache::Session %session hash, 3) if not, then instruct Apache to return a Basic Auth dialog prompting for login/password, 3.1) get the login/password from the $r object and store it in %session, The tough part (and this is where a lack of mod_perl experience shows) is: how do I tell Apache put itself in "Basic Auth mode" so that it will prompt the user for his login/password? And it has to work in a Mason environment. I am digging into the mod_perl Guide at present for hints, but if someone could give me just a quick shove up the learning curve it would really help.
