How to set Content-Type header on custom_response()?

2006-02-04 Thread Andrew Ho
Hello, I have a mod_perl (Apache 1.3.33, mod_perl 1.29) handler which returns HTTP error codes on several conditions, and uses a custom_response() to set a custom body. The custom body is XML (this is a middleware component and errors are read by machines, not humans), so I'd like to send a "

Re: Usage suggestions: caching DB metadata with mod_perl?

2006-02-04 Thread Jonathan Vanasco
what exactly do you want to cache? the form inputs or the forms? if its the forms themselves, you could cache in mod_perl before the fork, or use somthing like memcached otherwise , you're best off with a db you can't use modperl, because caching will be per-child -- you might put somet

Re: Usage suggestions: caching DB metadata with mod_perl?

2006-02-04 Thread John ORourke
Jonathan's right, the overhead of caching data shared between apache processes is probably more than a DB call using a cached DBI handle. For multi page forms I just keep it all in hidden form fields between pages, validating as we go, then revalidate all the fields before finally comitting to

Try: my $dbArgs = { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 , TraceLevel => 3 }; my $dbh = DBI->connect( $db, $dbUser, $dbPass , $dbArgs ); while you `tail -f` the errorlog ( /usr/local/apache2/log/error_log on my system ) the tracelevel will show you exactly what's going on within DBI. On

now when i run it from the command line i get 2 pages or debug type info, from the brower i get nothing, error_log also show nothing. is there a setting in httpd.conf that tells it not to log stuff?!?!? i think that it is not running the DBI->connect code, have i got modperl setup right? have i

Thanks to the Johns for their responses, but I believe perhaps I was unclear about my intent. In validating my form input I look at my DB tables to see what types of input they will accept (valid values, maxlength, NULL ok, etc). This data is about the database, not the values coming in off th
