I'm at Witts End (twisty passages everwhere!). I have
written an authentication module as a DSO for Apache 2.0.48
I run FreeBSD here and it works just fine. I move the
source over to a SuSE 9.0 box where Apache 2.0.48 has
been installed from a binary RPM, and it compiles and
drops into /usr/lib/apache2-prefork. The problems arise
when the module is used for authentication. The new
commands parse just fine, but when the
authenticate_basic_user hook is called, the request_rec
pointer is empty. The actual pointer isn't NULL, but
all the fields including the URI and per_dir_config
pointer are null. Even if I trap the fact that
r->per_dir_config is NULL and exit with a DECLINED,
then the server returns an Error-500. I've tried using
APXS and I've tried hand-compiling the module but
nothing works. Google doesn't have any help. The module
is quite similar to all other auth modules. In fact, I
if0 a lot of the code and I still get a bogus request_rec.
I've been pounding my head against the wall for days now
and I can't figure out what's going on. If I remove my
auth module from the config file, there are no problems.
Does anyone out there have any ideas? Has someone come
across this before? I suspect that I'm compiling the
module incorrectly or something, seeing as it's so simple
but I can't figure out how. APXS does give some grief in
that it seems to want to refer to HTTP v1 on SuSE but
even hand-compiling doesn't do the right thing.
