Hi I am fairly new to net snmp and have a question that is puzzling me regarding injecting user defined Netsnmp_Node_Handlers into the netsnmp_handler_registration.
To take an example, the netsnmp_register_int_instance(..) API allows you to specify a user defined Netsnmp_Node_Handler * subhandler. If a user defined handler is specified then the chain of netsnmp_mib_handlers calls is (I think) as follows: serialize_helper_handler->netsnmp_instance_helper_handler->netsnmp_instance_int_handler->user defined Handler It seems that this and the other 'register' type APIs always inject any user defined handlers at the end of the call chain. Having the user defined handler injected into the end of the call chain does not seem logical e.g. in the case of a GET request the SNMP response gets sent in the netsnmp_instance_int_handler so it is too late for anything in the user defined handler to change the value of the response object. We can get round the problem by injecting the user defined handler before the netsnmp_instance_int_handler, but this in effect means the APIs cannot be used as is. So my question is why are user defined handlers injected into the end of the call chain as it seems more logical to call any user defined handlers before the final handler that gives the SNMP response?
