Graham Dumpleton closed MODPYTHON-170.
--------------------------------------
> Allow access to request_rec/server_rec/conn_rec/filter_rec as Python CObject.

> Key: MODPYTHON-170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-170
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Assigned To: Graham Dumpleton
> Fix For: 3.3
>
>
> At the moment, if mod_python doesn't expose a feature of Apache that you may
> want to use, you are stuffed and either have to convince mod_python
> maintainers to add it, patch your mod_python or create a Python loadable
> module that builds against both mod_python headers and Apache headers.
> In the latter, it needs access to mod_python headers so as to be able to look
> inside the mod_python requestobject to get at the request_rec Apache
> structure. In practice, the only thing from the mod_python requestobject that
> such a extension module is going to want, is the request_rec structure, thus
> it is probably simpler and makes building such an extension easier, if the
> mod_python requestobject provided a "request_rec" attribute which was a
> Python CObject wrapper which wrapped the C request_rec pointer. Similarly,
> access to server_rec/conn_rec/filter_rec could also be provided.
> For example, you might have a C extension function like:
> typedef int (*ssl_is_https_t)(conn_rec*);
> static PyObject* is_https(PyObject* module, PyObject* args)
> {
> PyObject* req_object = 0;
> request_rec* req;
> ssl_is_https_t ssl_is_https = 0;
> int result = 0;
> if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"O",&req_object))
> return 0;
> if (! PyCObject_Check(req_object))
> PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,"not a CObject");
> req = PyCObject_AsVoidPtr(req_object);
> ssl_is_https = (ssl_is_https_t)apr_dynamic_fn_retrieve("ssl_is_https");
> if (ssl_is_https == 0)
> return Py_BuildValue("i",0);
> result = ssl_is_https(req->connection);
> return Py_BuildValue("i",result);
> }
> The call to this form Python code would be:
> import myextension
> def handler(req):
> if myextension.is_https(req.request_rec):
> ...
> Note that something like this was posted some time back:
> http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-February/020340.html
> but the problem with it was that it needed the mod_python header files when
> compiling. Using the Python CObject avoids that. Any Python distutils
> setup.py file still needs to know where the Apache header files etc are, but
> it can use apxs to get that.
