You mean logging to databases and that sort of thing? Okay... But a handler really isn't what you want. A handler's job is just to take a request and generate the response from it (or at least begin the response generation process). The default handler, for example, just takes the file corresponding to the request, opens it, and passes the open file descriptor along. I suggest studying mod_log_config in detail and understanding how it does its thing. Because it really sounds like you just want to write another logging module... so yours will be a lot like mod_log_config; the output will just go to something other htan a file. And assuming you mean Apache 2.0 here, you can even get away with letting mod_log_config do most of the work and just use the optional functions ap_log_set_writer_init and ap_log_set_writer exported by that module to have it store the logs to something other than a file. Lots of possibilities there. --Cliff
