Hey all,
This is my first time posting so excuse me if I break any rules etc.
I am having a very werid problem with apache 1.3.27, and modperl 1.27
with Mason. Now I don't believe Mason is at fault here since its
serving all the other pages correctly and as you will see it only has to
do with specific file extensions. However if im wrong I will punt this
over to the mason mailing list instead.
I am using a full <%perl> configuration the relevant parts are
Location => {
"/downloads" => { SetHandler =>
"perl-script",
Options =>
"ExecCGI +Indexes",
PerlHandler =>
$session_package,
PerlSendHeader =>
"On",
PerlSetupEnv =>
"On",
},
},
FilesMatch => {
"*.html" => { SetHandler =>
"perl-script",
Options =>
"ExecCGI -Indexes",
PerlHandler =>
$session_package,
PerlSendHeader =>
"On",
PerlSetupEnv =>
"On",
},
"*.comp" => { SetHandler =>
"perl-script",
Options =>
"ExecCGI -Indexes",
PerlHandler =>
$session_package,
PerlSendHeader =>
"On",
PerlSetupEnv =>
"On",
},
},
Now the site (*.html files) works perfectly. However in the downloads
directory I have a dhandler to pick up all the files (since its impt for
me to keep a record of all the downloads) and then it will pick the
specific version of the file that relates to the path. Now....
http://www.server.com/downloads/bob
Works exactly like I would expect and gives the dhandler output (just
happens to be a string saying dhandler here)
However http://www.server.com/downloads/bob.exe gives file not found
(this also applies to jpg gif etcetc)
Now im prob missing something really simple it seems like apache is
picking up .exe/.jpg/.gif/and others probably and skiping my Location
statement. How do I tell it that I want everything regardless of
extension to be passed to the handler in the directory.
I have one other alternative and that is can I (from a script: say
http://www.server.com/downloads/getfile?file=bob.exe ) initiate the
download such that on the client machine the file gets automatically
saved as bob.exe. My understanding is that it picks up the filename
from the basename of the URI.
OK hope this all makes sense. Hoping ppl can help me ive been tearing
my hair out for the past few hours on this one.
Cheers
