I'm in the process of migrating from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2 and
things were going swimmingly until I noticed that abort and redirect
weren't working properly. Namely, that the status being returned was
200 and therefore the redirect didn't redirect but instead displays
the page saying that the document has moved and the abort just
reports that the document has not been found tagged on to the end of
any previous output (which is not flsuhed).
So, I have stripped down to a basic vanilla setup to ensure that the
funkiness is not in my code elsewhere, using the following config
(Fedora 4, Apache/2.0.54)
>>>
<VirtualHost 87.106.19.189:80>
ServerName mason.test
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mason.test/htdocs
PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod mod_perl
PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
PerlAddVar MasonDataDir /var/www/vhosts/mason.test/masondata
<Location />
SetHandler modperl
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<<<
This makes no difference. Instead I have to do the oldskool
$m->clear_buffer; # previous output not being flushed
$r->status(404); # Apache sets status to 200 otherwise
$m->abort(404);
or
$r->status(302);
$m->redirect('posh');
# no clear_buffer required since redirect calls clear_and_buffer
Alternatively I could patch HTML::Mason::Request::abort
>>>
sub abort
{
my ($self, $aborted_value) = @_;
+ $self->clear_buffer;
+ $self->apache_req->status($aborted_value);
HTML::Mason::Exception::Abort->throw( error => 'Request->abort
was called', aborted_value => $aborted_value );
}
<<<<
but that seems really wrong, since it now clears the buffer for all
aborts (that's fine for me, but it obviously flies in the face of the
existence of clear_and_abort).
Anyhow, the nub of the problem is that for some reason or other, the
status that is being passed back from the ApacheHandler
handle_request method isn't being acted upon. (I have verified that
handle-request is indeed returning the correct code)
Is this a known problem? Or should things work properly? (I'm
guessing the latter since I thought Apache2 was officially supported
these days)
