Hello all,
I'm relatively new to mod_perl and need to know from all mod_perl experts here if mod_perl can pass a variable back to apache, or maybe any of you have a better solution for it. I'm setting up a proxy using Apache 2.2.8 with mod_proxy and I need to add a custom request header with information that is currently stored in our MySQL server. I was thinking of using Apache to get user's IP address and pass it to mod_perl where mod_perl script will query the database based on that IP address, but I'm not sure how to have mod_perl send the result back to Apache. Just a note, I've been testing using mod_header to add a custom request header and it has been working. I've also tested using Apache2::Filter::HTTPHeadersFixup and for some reason it works fine if the destination website doesn't use any kind of cookies. Any ideas? Thanks,
