You know how there's $Response->Include('xyz.inc') in the modperl
Apache::ASP ? This file will be executed as an ASP script locally
and the output included in the stream. One could imagine letting
this method auto-detect for the http:// prefix, and if it exists
use LWP to call the URL and include the output that way.
I have also started work on a $Response->TrapInclude() method
which will return the output instead of sending it straight to
the client HTML buffer, you could TrapInclude then to capture
the lwp-request automatically for post processing.
If LWP behavior is available, I wonder whether to turn its
abilities on by default, or require some LWPInclude config
to be activated first?
Also, I wonder whether to allow Apache::ASP to compile LWP
input as an ASP script. Since ASP scripts can execute arbitrary
code, this seems to me to increase the potential security
risks to a site.
