Re: [mp2.0] Input Filter virus scan (more info)

If you need to store something in between the filter calls (filter may get the data in chunks, every time it's called it may only gets a chunk of data), the context is the way to store such data (e.g. partial bucket brigades, counters, etc.). Just give me some time and I'll commit the implementation and the updated doc with examples. I'm experiencing some problems with not seeing EOS, which prevents me from completing it. Stay tuned. __ 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

If anyone has used mod_vscan on incoming data or know if the All-in-One Filter example located at; http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#All_in_One_Filter can do this please contact me. I'm not familiar with mod_vscan and you don't specify how the scan filter works, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work, as long as all you need is an access to the request's headers. Notice that you may need to have to store the context data between filter calls, which currently is not supported, but I'm working on adding this feature asap. Also all-in-one filter is an example of how to snoop on the data going through the filter, since you don't need the output filter, you can use a simpler only-input connection filter: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#Connection_Output_Filters One more thing that needs to be figured out is how to make the filter abort the normal request processing if the virus is discovered and return a 40x response. __ 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
