[mp2 ] Request output filters and directories

[Clément OUDOT]

Hi all,

I am one of the developer of LemonLDAP::NG (http://lemonldap-ng.org),
a free WebSSO using mod_perl. So to begin, thanks to the mod_perl team
for this great product!

In our code, we are injecting request output filters with the
add_output_filter method. This works well, but we noticed that the
filter is never called on directories, only on files:
* http://test1.example.com/ -> filter not called
* http://test1.example.com/index.pl -> filter called

I use ModPerl 2.0.4 for my tests. My Apache configuration is the following:

---------------

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test1.example.com
    ServerAlias test2.example.com

    # SSO protection
    PerlHeaderParserHandler My::Package


    # DocumentRoot
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/lemonldap-ng/htdocs/test/
    <Directory /usr/local/lemonldap-ng/htdocs/test/>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
        Options +ExecCGI
    </Directory>

    # Perl script (application test is written in Perl)
    <Files *.pl>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
    </Files>

    # Directory index
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
        DirectoryIndex index.pl index.html
    </IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

---------------


Can this behaviour comes from the DirectoryIndex and mod_dir?


Thanks for your help,
