I am writing an output filter that needs to record request (headers and POST/GET vars) and response data (status and content-length). I was planning to write an input filter to capture/relay the POST/GET data (via "r->notes") to an output filter for processing.
It seems that "mod_form" (see: http://apache.webthing.com/mod_form/) does the parameter processing, but comes with the following ominous caveat: "mod_form works with GET but is largely untested under POST, and appears to have problems with POST and HTTP Keepalive. That will be fixed, but it's not currently a priority." Q: Does anyone know if this is safe to use? Their support page lists mod_form as: "unlikely to represent value to you." Q: Is there another alternative to writing my own? If not, any idea what the keepalive issue was? Q: Apache processes variables in the URL (parses into r->args) during POST requests, but the mod_form implementation doesn't look for r->args when handling POST requests. Is this disallowed/discouraged in the spec or an oversight in the implementation? Thanks, Erik
