Re: How to fail in case of an error

It depends. If you know it has failed in a directive configuration handler, you can return a char* with an error message. httpd will print out the error message and exit. If you only know after parsing all the directives, and trying to combine them in module_init, you can simply exit(3). At this point, httpd is performing the initial parsing of httpd.conf, when httpd is running as a single process and thread. Cheers Tom
Re: URL decoding in Apache module

Does Apache already do the URL decoding and store it somewhere in the request_rec structure OR the filter module should explicitly do a URL decoding? If the filter should do the URL decoding then could you please suggest if there are any Apache APR API calls I can make to to the decoding? Thanks a lot. http://ci.apache.org/projects/httpd/trunk/doxygen/structrequest__rec.html#a778f7883e201095a1d914ab7422635eb Cheers Tom
Re: some key fields of request_rec are null

There are many different handler phases, all of which you can set your module to APR_HOOK_FIRST into. You haven't said if this is a content handler, a fixup handler, etc. If you hook in to post_read_request, then duh, most of the fields on request_rec are not populated. But you know all that already, I'm just a moronic moaner, so I'll leave you to your anger. I'm sure insulting people will eventually lead you to the correct method.

Certain parts of the request_rec are populated by different handler stages, if your handler is running before they run, then (surprise!) those parts of the config won't be filled in. You've been asked several times what handler your code is running in, providing context and/or code would be better than just moaning. Cheers Tom
Re: How to test if request has been aborted

There are times that the request may take a considerable amount of time to process. I need to cut the processing short if the user decides to press the stop button on the browser. I cant seem to figure out how to test for that condition from inside the handler. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, Tony r-connection-aborted Cheers Tom
Re: How do I debug a module ?

It seems to be working fine. Your breakpoint is on ap_process_request, and you single step through it, successfully. If you want to debug your module, set a breakpoint in your module. Cheers Tom
RE: Dynamicly insert 'require' into request
On Wed, 2009-07-22 at 10:43 +0100, Ben Davies wrote: Okay, so upon further inspection, it appears that there may not be an equivalent function for mod_perls set_handlers(). This leads me to a problem: how do I turn off a hook, especially, as the check_user() hook expects the r-user property to contain the username, meaning that the sending of a 403 happens before the check_user() hook is called. Whatever it is I need to do, I need to do in the access() hook. I was hoping it might be something as simple as removing my require entry from the require array. Has anyone had any experience with this? If so, could you comment on techniques? Cheers, Ben One solution would be to set a note for your hook in an earlier stage, and then return DECLINED from your handler when you detect that note. There may be a better way :) Cheers Tom
RE: mod_deflate feature needed
On Thu, 2009-07-16 at 10:20 -0600, Anthony J. Biacco wrote: We're not violating the specs, we're following them. The HTTP spec states that you should send out a content-length header with the correct trasnfer length, and mod_deflate in this case is not doing that. -Tony No it doesn't; it says that 'Applications SHOULD use this field to indicate the transfer-length of the message-body, unless this is prohibited by the rules in section 4.4' Rule 2 of section 4.4 clearly indicates that you must not set it if you are transferring data using the chunked transfer encoding (in fact, any transfer encoding other than 'identity'). It is sub optimal in most use cases to buffer the entire response and gzip encode it, so mod_deflate does the sane thing and so transfers it in chunks. Cheers Tom

Thank you. Ricardo It's called C. Character arrays are null terminated, and if they are not, things that print it tend to keep printing random bits of memory until they happen to hit a null byte.
