Oh the choice is easyjust come in on a weekend and install linux on your box. Don't tell IT. That's all. I think the don't get a choice is more to do with that you require access to some application that requires MS windows to run. This is typically Exchange, Word, and most importantly iexplore for testing the website you are developing. There are solutions to this: a) Terminal Server. Get one Windows box running terminal server (the server version of w2k ships with it by default iirc) and install rdesktop[1] on your desktop Linux machines. This means you can all remotely open up a window to a Windows desktop on your linux box. It's reasonably fast but you will be limited to 256 colours and animations will be slow. An alternative to this, is to use VNC or TightVNC to connect to a spare Windows computer somewhere. I do this quite often to connect from my Linux system at work to a spare Windows system at home, across the VPN. I'm sure there are people who set up a local spare box, that developers can share if they need IE to test a webpage or convert an Office document or whatever b) VMWare (and similar) that allows you to run an emulated Windows computer on your real computer. I tried the trial version of this but I found it was taking up too much resources on my desktop. OTOH, I never had any problem with it and it worked flawlessly, and my desktop machine is quite slow by modern standards. I've been using VMWare for years with great success. Anything with a =400 Mhz processor and 256MB should be fine; all computers from the last 3 years have these specs, and RAM is cheap. By the way, if you originally tried Vmware2, try Vmware 3 as I found it a lot faster. Also make sure your system is tweaked: HD is in DMA mode, recompiled kernel, etc, etc. These days, I run an average of 3 VMWare sessions at any given time: 2 linux, and one Win32. I toggle between Win98 and WinXP, but do run all 4 images simulaneously (plus my normal apps) on occasion. ATA100 or SCSI does help though. c) VMWare the other way round - run it on Windows and have emulated linux boxen. The advantage of this is that you'll be able to quickly switch between a range of development environments, roll back changes etc. etc. I've never personally tried this solution... I've done this in the past, and we have developers that use this method as well. d) WINE on Linux. I've not had much success with this, but if it's a particular application you might have success. Doesn't work all so super hot for iexplore, winword, excel, and so forth. It works fine for quicktime, windows media player, starcraft, winamp, winzip, notepad, minesweeper, and a lot of other things; see winehq.com for an application database. I have some (trippy) screenshots of VNC, VMWare, VNC+VMWare, and Wine in action over at: http://www.nyetwork.org/wim/screenshots/

Apache::AuthCookieURL does that. IIRC, it sets a cookie with the failure

in the code line 154 is this:
$r-subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason', 'bad_cookie');

$r-subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason', 'no_cookie');
im not sure why your having problems on setting this
the examples in the cpan tarball on the login.pl page are like this

use strict;
my $r = Apache-request;
$r-status(200);
my $uri = $r-prev-uri;
my $reason = $r-prev-subprocess_env(AuthCookieReason);
then in his html code it says:
PFailure reason: '$reason'. Please enter your login and password to

which shows up if its a 'bad cookie' or 'no cookie'
basically the authentication failed
one thing to mention in the prev not prev subprocess
is that you set it as subprocess_env and then call it with prev later

you can set these in yourself by overwriting
the AuthCookie Response method
you should catch these in your
own subs and send back messages
for instance
in my Auth.pm authen_ses_key sub
if ($checks ne 1 ||$id eq '') {
$r-subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason2', 'does not check or you have
no id');
return '';
}
else {
return $creds[0];
}
then in login.cgi
my $error=$r-prev-subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason2')
|| $r-prev-subprocess_env('AuthCookieReason');
i then just put this erro in as a template param
which handles
my error or else give default 'no cookie one'
hope that helps
also you might wanna try setting
PerlSetVar AuthCookieDebug 3

My signup script is reasonably straightforward. I use CGI::Validate to make

pages of the signup, CGI::FastTemplate to print a pretty success page, and

At one time it was straight CGI but I've since updated it for mod_perl.

Holt said:
Not really, the current Apache doesn't let you decide on the fly whether
to challenge the client with basic auth or not unless you use .htaccess.
If I wrote my own PerlAuthHandler, could it then choose whether to pass through
to the standard AuthHandler?
.htaccess is not used only for auth!!! it's used for adding per-directory
extra configuration (usually to override the defaults).
Yes I was envisioning something along these lines in the config file:
Perl
#code to determine paid status
if ($paid) { $AllowOverride = AuthConfig }
/Perl
Or something like that. Not being a mod_perl guru I don't know the syntax, but
I wondered if a construct like this would work on a per-hit basis, or if not, if
someone knew a better one.
So your second question has nothing to do with the first one :)
You're right. one dealing with feasibility of checking for .htaccess files based
on perl code, and one with scalability--not checking for .htaccess files when
not necessary.
You can specify the Auth data in your httpd.conf and avoid creating
.htaccess, saving processing time, but making it harder to maintain
(requires server restart for each modification, whereas .htaccess allows
to do 'hot' modifications without restarting the server.
That is not feasible, because if we can't even afford to put a VirtualHost tag
in for every user, how much less could we afford auth data and server restarts?
But you may be on the right track. Can we use perl code in the global config
file to control auth? I just want a way to activate the standard auth handler
per-hit. It has to be possible in mod_perl. Someone out there has to be wizard
enough to know how. Hopefully that person will be reading this soon.

Re: Followup: mime-type headers
heya
i used to get this sort of errors when posting vrml to ie with perl
the problem i was finding is that it would post directly
ie would build a wierd html page with an embed tag in it
very bizarre
of course this blocked certain script node calls from vrml too!!
grr.
i never found a solution to this
next time you do a $q-header('mime/type')
check the source, i bet you get something like this
H T M L B O D Y E M B E D S R C = " S R C . E X T " /
B O D Y / H T M L
instead of your file
i noticed when i was trying to debug my vrml file and it would show me
the vrml text source! just the above spaced html code
which i dont think it should do right?
it should just load the file? and display using the proper plug in, not
make a html wrapper page for it!!
at least netscape never does this

Re: database access
Les Mikesell wrote: Perrin Harkins wrote: On Fri, 10 Nov 2000, Tim Sweetman wrote: Would you be interested in adding support for resetting some of these to Apache::DBI? It's pretty easy to do, using PerlCleanupHandler like the auto-rollback does. It would be database-specific though, so you'd have to find a way for people to explicitly request cleanups. I suspect automating via DBI would be a major pain, because you'd have to be able to identify the "dangerous" changes in state. Probably requiring SQL to be parsed. :( The current rollback cleanup doesn't parse SQL. It knows that a rollback won't do damage if there are no transactions to be cleaned up, so it's safe to do every time. If there are other things that work this way, you could add them. Probably wouldn't work for things like MySQL table locks though. People will have to do that themselves. If the backend supports rollback, couldn't you just try that instead of the ping method to see if you are still connected and get the cleanup as a side effect? In principle, you could probably have a -do_not_reuse method which could be called before someone does something dangerous. As long as they remember. But that would also mean no more persistent connection. Maybe that would work if you don't do it very often. It would be very useful to be able to specify at connect time that you don't want a particular connection to be persistent. If you have a lot of small databases or some with different user/password permissions you accumulate too many backend servers - but if you also have one or more connections used all the time you don't want to give up Apache::DBI. I'm not sure it is worth caching MySQL connections on the same host, either since it is so fast to start up. Has anyone timed the difference? Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] as far as i can tell the problem here is in the design of the particular db your connecting to no one database is going to be architected in the same way so providing an abstracted layer to handle this will be a very tough call it would be great to see a DBI::persist or APache::DBI::persist but it would be hard to implement down the line to the DBD::*** as each one of those drivers would have to be able to handle the persistence call in their own way in some cases this would be an easily handled affair and in others a real horror show of coding correct?
