RE: SSL variables running APACHE on Windows NT 4.0
Hi Ralf,
it's me again. I don't understand the use of ap_hook_use and how it would
solve my problem. In my modules "URI to filename translation" phase I'd like
to call the ssl's module handler "ssl_hook_fixup" which is setting up all
SSL variables so the would be availbale to me immediately after the call to
ssl_hook_fixup returns. Is there a way to do that right now?
I read the documentation provided in ap_hook.c but I don't understand the
workings I also would appreciate a short explanation of how ap_hook_use
works. Must the hook specified in ap_hook_use be configured and registered
in mod_ssl before it can be used?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Arnold

When you looked into mod_rewrite, you would have found:
#ifdef EAPI
ap_hook_use("ap::mod_rewrite::lookup_variable",
AP_HOOK_SIG3(ptr,ptr,ptr),
AP_HOOK_DECLINE(NULL),
result, r, var);
#endif
A similar call in your module will give you the results.
PS: A note for Ralf Engelschall: Do you have any plans to change mod_ssl
to
make the SSL variables available right from the start, that is before the
post_read_request or header_parser handlers are being called.
Hmmm... mod_ssl currently does it in the "correct/intended" phase. But
sure,
it shouldn't harm to provide them earlier. I've to admit that I currently
forgot what the reason was that have not done this already. I'll think about
this again

Try it out in your module the same way mod_rewrite does it. It internally calls the mod_ssl lookup function which is also used in the fixup handler. So you don't have to run the fixup handler manually. Ralf S.

No. Not easy, anyway...

No. You just call hook "ap::mod_rewrite::lookup_variable" to find out varible
value instead of standard Apache way. That's all. What's so problematic here ???
Why you are so inclined to setting up SSL variables ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
