Hello list, as the subject line says, I'm trying to run a subrequest through mod_proxy and need to post-process the subrequests response data. Looking at older posts on this list it seems as if the only way to accomplish this is:
(1) create a subrequest with ap_sub_req_lookup_uri(...) (2) modify parts of the created subrequest (filename, handler, proxyreq etc.) (3) Install a filter that captures the response data (4) run that subrequest Now, (1) seems unelegant since it does need a valid URI which has nothing to do with the final proxy request. Hence the value of the subrequest's status has no meaning -- but isn't this exactly the purpose of subrequests? To quote Nick Kew '....to run a fast partial request, to gather information: what would happen if we ran thos request?' Is there really no way to create a subrequest directly aiming at mod_proxy. It would be utterly nice to be able to access a (proxied) subrequests metadata (content-type, etag etc.) before running the filter. Any ideas? Mabe a nice API extension for Apache or mod_proxy? TIA Ralf Mattes
