Dear listmember,
as I am new to the list, so please let me disclaim, that I already
searched the archives, read at perl.apache.org and other documentation,
I am insane and sensible. :)
I am trying to modify incoming http cookie on the fly. The setup is like
user->webserver->bea connector->bea appserver
Iam using Apache 2.0.52, mod_perl 1.99, perl 5.8.5, Redhat AS Server 4.
Primary goal is to modify incoming cookies before they reach the
connector module for bea. It would be even possible to put a additional
reverse proxy before the webserver to accomplish this. Like
user->reverse proxy -> webserver-> bea connector -> bea appserver
The first idea was to modify the cookie using simple a Perlhandler. But
this perlhandler seem to write to the response stream, which is going
back to the client, so the modified cookie never reached the
connector/appserver (which I can see out of its logfile).
Second idea was to use connection input filter to modify the cookie
information right in the incoming apache chain. I managed to setup the
example connection input filter from
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#Connection_Input_Filters
It is working, but from my opinion not as expected. I cant see any
header information written to the log, nor do I know, how I should
modify header and write them back into the input chain.
Example output:
------------
data: HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified

data: S
data: erver: Apache/2.0.58 (Red Hat)

Would you please shed some light on this?
Thanks alot in advance!

Daniel
