moving GIF's constantly reloading
Moving GIF files on some of our pages seem to *keep* reloading the whole time I stay on the page. My browser is set to only compare a document in its cache to the network version once per session. What gives? I don't see anything in the configs that looks very closely related The one place I *ever* use a no_cache is on the user's registration. Would that last for a whole session?

Apache::DBI strategy/philosophy
I have been using DBI without Apache::DBI and have been simply storing db connections in a global variable as a sort of poor man's persistent connection when running under Apache::Registry. Now I want to do things "right" and am trying to understand Apache::DBI. Before looking at the module I imagined that it would work by providing a library of persistent connections. You would check a connnection out of the library, use it, and then put it back when you are done, like checking a book out of the library. If you disconnected the connection, you just wouldn't return it, and the pool would have to create a new connection for the next user. But this is not the way Apache::DBI works. Instead, if I understand correctly after glancing at the module this morning, two consecutive identical connect calls will return the same connection! Why isn't this a problem? Is the assumption that two different transactions will use different user/pwd combinations? Thanks, Tim

If you disconnected the connection, you just wouldn't return it, and the pool would have to create a new connection for the next user. Hrrmm. In this case though how would you discern between a slow connection and a 'disconnect' on the clients side ?! As far as we are aware, you couldnt, unless you sent back some sort of message to the server in which case it may as well deal with the disconnection itself at that point. (jst our opinion ;) But this is not the way Apache::DBI works. Instead, if I understand correctly after glancing at the module this morning, two consecutive identical connect calls will return the same connection! Why isn't this a problem? Is the assumption that two different transactions will use different user/pwd combinations? Afaik (or afaict) apache::dbi seems to cache any connection by lp (login and passwd) and server host/dbname. This is fine for us here because everyone has a unique lp to the database anywayz. If you only use one for lp for all connections, then it doesnt really matter 'who has the handle' as long as its open for business surely ?! The dbi handle (in other words) doesnt block whilst in a cgi, which you seem to think it is doing. It _will_ (if i read this right) if you have a large select or fetchrow call, but otherwise the concurrency shouldnt really be a problem (its all a matter how of how quick/slow your queries are). personally, in our application here, the individuals do a lot of large transactions, and even though DBI might queue them up, it would cause unacceptable delays in processing time. of course, there are other things to worry about if everyone has a unique lp and more than once we have seen people advocating against this. your mileage may vary.

Slashdot's coverage ignored or underreported some aspects of the situation (the motivation behind the lawsuit, epxloitation of the name confusion on the part of etoy), and reported some conjecture and pure flights of fancy as fact (evil intentions, scheming lawyers). You have no idea how painful it is to read things like that from a source that you trust and consider part of your community. I guess I should have known better though: Slashdot is an op/ed site. If you want the news, you still have to read the New York Times (who had much more accurate coverage of the events). Anyway, I don't claim that eToys was right to take legal action, just that the reports about an evil empire were greatly exaggerated and that eToys is a good place to work, full of good people.

Re: Apache::ASP and Apache request object
Dmitry Beransky wrote:
Hi,
In order to get an instance of Apache::Session, I need to get to the
current session id which is stored in a request header, which means I need
to get a reference to the current apache request object. I've browsed
through Apache::ASP code and docs and realized that there is no documented
API for accessing the underlying request, but I can still do it by
accessing the internal structures directly:
$sessionID = $self-{'asp'}-{'r'}-header_in('sessionID');
So my question is: how reliable this method is? Can I assume that the
structure of the ASP and GlobalASA will not change in the future?
You can get the current request like Apache-header_in('sessionID')
So this doesn't rely on ASP internals, you'll be fine.

Apache::Session and pnotes (again)
Hello, I'm consistently unable to store my Apache::Session
in pnotes and retrieve it in subsequent handlers. Some of you
may remember me complaining about this before. Luckily, I've
had other things I could be doing.
The Session IS retrievable in the same handler, but not
in the Mason Handler.
package MyPerlAccessHandler;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$s = Func_that_returns_a_valid_Apache_Session_hash_ref;
$test = { 'test' = 'hashref', 'for' = 'comparison' };
$r-pnotes("session", $s);
$r-pnotes("test",$test);
}
packache HTML::Mason;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $SESSION = $r-pnotes("session");
my $TEST= $r-pnotes("test");
At this point, mentioning session results in "Use of
uninitialized value..."
$TEST works as one might expect and is a friendly hash ref.
What am I missing?
My configuration---
1.51 Apache::Session
1.24 mod_perl
1.3.12 Apache
0.87 HTML::Mason

Re: non-DSO mod_perl, Embperl, and AIX not working
On Fri, Jun 16, 2000 at 04:58:55PM -0400, Greg Estep wrote:
After making a few tweaks to the test.pl script and passing the 'h'
command-line parameter (only do mod_perl tests) I was able to run all the
tests (only under mod_perl) successfully. I then was able to run some
successful tests against some .epl's that I had previously written using a
different OS.
I can't run Embperl outside of apache, but have only done that on the rare
occasion anyway, so that's not a great loss.
Aiee, I have forgotten about that one, but with Apache 1.3.10 they added
a special AIX 4.2 feature to the httpd.exp file that explicitely forces
the httpd symbols to be from the main part and to be present, previously
the httpd.exp file specified deferred binding that also allows for the
symbols to be not present, which might not be a problem if you know that
and don't use functionality that requires the use of the unresolved
symbols. I changed that back to the old behaviour in my Apache build
tree by changing the first line of the httpd.exp from:
#! .
to just:
#!
without the dot. This way Embperl should also run standalone with perl
alone.
Thanks for all your help. It has been a few years since I have used AIX and
was in much need of reminders related to AIX's "strange/different/odd/weird"
linker.
Yep, compared to other Unix linkers AIX behaves quite differently, but
the export file mechanism is actually quite nice if you really want to
control the API exported from shared libraries or plug-in modules. Other
Unix linkers can be coerced to perform similarly, although with some
additional effort. I do use these features, as I do not like it if
everything is dumped into one big symbol soup, as the ELF linkers
normally do.
BTW, is it appropriate for me to offer to help with incorporating your
knowledge into the Embperl install scripts?
Definitely, but I believe Embperl already knows about it. There is the
following sequence in Makefile.PL from Embperl:
require Apache::src;
$dynlib-{'OTHERLDFLAGS'} = Apache::src-new-otherldflags
if (defined (Apache::src::otherldflags)) ;
This would pick up the requires flags from modperl, if modperl knows
about them. As currently done the httpd.exp is only added to
otherldflags if modperl is build by apxs as a DSO, not if linked into
httpd statically. I would believe the following patch to modperl should
fix this:
