Hi, I've got a new version of Apache::Filter that I've been working on, and I wondered whether anyone would like to try it out and give me an opinion on it. The new version is structured very differently from previous versions. It is now a subclass of Apache, rather than a bunch of extra functions that are pushed into the Apache namespace. This is much cleaner, and allows for a much smoother integration with existing code (handler modules or Registry scripts). For instance, you can call $r->send_http_header() as usual, $r->send_fd() is supported, and there shouldn't be any need to write different code for the filtered and non-filtered cases. The interface has changed slightly. Instead of using "$fh = $r->filter_input()" as the filter registration mechanism, you do "$r = $r->filter_register()". $r is then blessed into the Apache::Filter class, which is a subclass of Apache. If people want to use Apache::Registry scripts in this context, you'll need to apply some patches to Apache::PerlRun and Apache::RegistryNG that make them easier to subclass. I'm hoping these patches will be accepted into the main distro. Let me know if you're interested. ------------------- ------------------- Ken Williams Last Bastion of Euclidity [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Math Forum
