Problem with EXEC_ON_READ, custom block content
I'm trying to create a custom block directive, following the
documentation in the ModPerl2 book (or the on-line documentation). The
minimal code for the problem I am seeing is below. I have the following
block in apache2.conf for the new block and the module is
in the /root/apache2 tree as required.
---
PerlSwitches -wT -Mlib=/root/apache2
PerlLoadModule MyApache::StdVHost;
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
---
I see two behaviours: if EXEC_ON_READ is set, by removing the
string ', #' in the code below, the handler is never invoked -- at least
die "..." is not visibly executed; if EXEC_ON_READ is unset, the handler
is invoked but $cont is just the first line and not
the whole block. Neither is what I wanted :-((.
The problem seems to have been reported back in 2005, with similar
code, and an implication that it was to be fixed. So what am I doing
wrong?
Thanks in advance,
John Hallam

Re: modperl with SSL
I also recommend stunnel. It has come through for me in these same situations without problems. On Mon, 2008-03-24 at 07:46 -0400, Roberto C.

a backend server - the server that REALly serves the request. Foo JH wrote: What is a realserver? J. Peng wrote: hello list, we have our own realserver called QHttpd.

Re: modperl with SSL
realserver, generally, it means a web server like apache, which is different from a proxy like squid.
