Before anyone does, please have a look at the online chapters of the excellent book "Writing Apache modules with Perl and C": http://www.modperl.com/ Chapter 6 is several long examples of exactly what you're trying to do. (I recommend buying the book - its v. useful). Chapter 9 has documentation on the Apache perl API - "perldoc Apache" will give you the documentation specific to your installed version of Apache.pm The other one to look at is the function is_initial_req() which is slightly different. I use is_main() because I still want to do authentication on internal redirects but not on subrequests. -- Andrew O'Brien Product Engineer email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Switch Online Group Pty Limited phone: +61 2 9299 1133 ABN 89 092 286 327 fax: +61 2 9299 1134 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
