Aha! That's where the problem lies. I had recently added:
PerlCleanupHandler +Apache::Sizelimit
to my httpd.conf. I placed it there so the sizelimit would be enforced
post-request. Removing the line fixed my problem.
This leads me to some questions:
1. If I declare handler modules in my http.conf are these pushed onto
the StackedHandlers, or does it override any prior handlers? i.e if my
httpd.conf contains:
PerlFixupHandler MyLibs::Fixup
PerlFixupHandler Apache::Sizelimit
will both handlers be called? Or must I do:
PerlFixupHandler MyLibs::Fixup Apache::Sizelimit
2. If I declare a handler in my http.conf and a loaded module stacks a
second handler (like CGI does) do both get called? (apparently not)
3. Where is the best place to hook Apache::Sizelimit so that it is
handled post-request (and hopefully does not step on any other toes)
since stacked handlers seem to fail (at least in this case).
Daniel, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
