I think I need return Apache2::Const::DECLINED; It is recieving a DECLINED but it is not acting according to what you wrote here. > See first this : > http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#HTTP_Request_Cycle_Phases > > Leave that page open in a tab, to refer to it during the rest. > > Then open this page in another tab, and read it, up to the RUN_ALL label. > > (Really do this; it takes only a few minutes, and it will save you a > lot of time in the long run) > > Then see : > http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlResponseHandler > and then follow the RUN_FIRST links, to > http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/intro.html#item_RUN_FIRST > and then to > http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/intro.html#C_RUN_FIRST_ > Yes - I have poured over this docs today. > Summary : > > When you install you own mod_perl response handler, it gets pushed > "on top" of the Apache default handler, so it gets called first. > > If your response handler really generates a response, it should > return OK, so that Apache does not run any more response handlers > after that (not even the default handler, see below), and skips to > the next phase (Logging).

This is the code: if ($gate =~ m{///}){ print STDERR "I have a match\n"; $r->log_reason("Access Forbidden", $r->filename); return Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN; }else{ print STDERR "Declining: $gate \n"; return Apache2::Const::DECLINED; } > so that Apache runs the next handler in the chain. Whatever apache is running after this is does not include anything that is supposed to identify indexes or dir_module (the discovery of index.html). These things are not happening even as I change the handle type from PerlResponseHandle to PerlAccessHandler to PerlTransHadler None of it. Even if I put return Apache2::Const::DECLINED; right at the top of the module: package URL_BLOCK; use strict; use Apache2::RequestRec (); use Apache2::RequestIO (); use Apache2::Access; use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(:common); use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(:options); sub handler{ my $r = shift; return Apache2::Const::DECLINED; my $gate = $r->unparsed_uri; .... Still it can no longer identify index.html or perform any fancy indexing. ONLY if I remove the perl handler from the location, only then will indexing work correctly. > Eventually, if all the installed Response handlers respond DECLINED, > Apache will run its default response handler. that default handler evidently does not include fancy indexing or option Indexes > This default handler is always there, at the end of the Response > handlers chain. It is the one which tries to respond to the request > by sending a static file (e.g. a html page on disk) or the content > of a directory. > That's what you want, here; so return DECLINED. -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013
