Hi,
The original mod_headers code has a hook for fixups. If I added an "after"
string in the code that registers my fixup function, with the name of the
webgate, would that cause my modified mod_headers to run before the webgate?
Also can you clarify/expand on what you mean by " you'll have to get those
variables yourself"? I think that I'm currently getting them using
env->setproc or something like that.
