Re: Possible bug with a 206 Partial Response

[David Dick]

alrightly, back again. The problem is that Apache::Registry will return a 206, which will trigger the error message. In case there is anyone out there as daft as me :), the crude delegation-type module below can solve this problem. Maniacs who see a need to return 204's, etc can probably extend this to a more general solution. :)

package MyPrefix::Apache::Registry;
use strict;

BEGIN {
use Apache::Registry();
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use constant PARTIAL_CONTENT => 206;
}

sub handler {
my ($return) = Apache::Registry::handler(@_);
if ($return == PARTIAL_CONTENT) {
return OK;
} else {
return ($return);
}
}

END { }

1;

not even getting a broken connection. So somehow mod_perl doesn't _really_ think it's an error.

Check out DEBUGGING in 'perldoc Apache::Registry'.

Apache::Registry won't always return what you'd think it should.
This has snookered more than one in the past...
