Hey GuysI wrote a simple Filter which calls a subrequest - and started by doing this very simply along the SSI style lines...
Please note - that although I could do this on the fly rather than buffer, the end result for my code requires capture of the content, so just imagine that bit is correct :-)
sub filter {
...
... buffer content into $context->{buffer} ...
if ($f->seen_eos) {
my $buffer = $context->{buffer};
while ((my $i = index($buffer, "EXPAND")) >= 0) {
$f->print(substr($buffer, 0, $i));
$buffer = substr($buffer, $i + 6);
my $subr = $f->r->lookup_uri("/sub.html");
$subr->run();
}
$f->print($buffer);
}
...
}
The above code always segfaults. Now the first thing that came to
mind was that a $subr->run() would output by printing to stderr which
of course would not work in the filter. Therefore I changed the code,
using the Apache2::TrapSubRequest module to...
my $subr = $f->r->lookup_uri('/sub.html');
my $data;
$subr->run_trapped(\$data, sub { return Apache2::Const::OK });
$f->print($data);
Same problem.
So I got thinking about how it works and thought maybe they just
don't work within a Filter.
When I try the same code within a normal handler it works fine...BUT (and finally my question) mod_include runs as a filter and does Sub Requests to get the content, so why don't they work in Perl ?
Am I missing something fundamental in Apache ? In mod_perl (e.g. Apache::SubRequest is specifically for a provider)? or is there a likely bug somewhere?
BTW. I tested this in both apache 2.0 and 2.2 using mod_perl2.0.2. I have not added any traces or debug information yet in case there is already an obvious answer.
