Re: [OT] P3P policies and IE 6 (something to be aware of)

Hi. Don't normally post or read this list but Leon Brocard pointed this
out to me.
I've been doing a lot of work for my company on what you talking about.
Code is available at: http://2shortplanks.com/temp/P3P-ToCP-0.02.tar.gz.
Documentation (html of the pod) is also at
http://2shortplanks.com/temp/P3P_ToCP.html This is a beta version of a
module that will take a P3P document and create a CP version of it that is
suitable for inserting in the HTTP P3P header.
This will go up on CPAN very soon, as soon as we've worked out what to
call it. I've been in discussion with the modules list about what it
should be named (as there are thoughts that it shouldn't go in the XML
name space.) Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
Apart from that it's pretty much complete (but I really could do with some
feedback on the code too.) Some additional documentation regarding P3P
and p3p2cp (a command line script to trigger the module) probably could
do with being written.
As goes for integrating it with apache, I guess the most sensible thing
to do would be to parse the P3P policies at start up and cache the headers
that should be delivered each request.
Hope this is of some help.
Mark.

Re: 2 mod_perl questions
I'm a novice in mod_perl but I already surprised with its features ! Before you continue any further with new questions it's a time to read the guide: http://perl.apache.org/guide/ Could you please help me with following two things: 1) What is the most common directory structure for mod_perl web-applications ? I keep all my modules in a separate directory (which is closed for internet-users) and I have to add path to them to @INC (for automatic reloading). But what if there are several applications with modules of the same name (like config.pm or utils.pm) ? You have to fully qualify these. E.g. MyProject1::config, MyProject2::config and etc. You will find more examples in the guide. 2) Suppose I want to share variable $q between several modules. http://perl.apache.org/guide/perl.html#Using_Global_Variables_and_Shari _ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/

inconsistency between CGI.pm and Apache::Request
There is some inconsistency between CGI.pm and Apache::Request's
param() method, especially in handling of multivalued parameter.
$q = CGI-new;
$q-param(foo = qw(a b c));
@foo = $q-param('foo'); # ('a', 'b', 'c')
$q-param(bar = [ qw(a b c) ]);
@bar = $q-param('bar'); # (['a', 'b', 'c'])
$r = Apache::Request-new(Apache-request);
$r-param(foo = qw(a b c)); # die with an error
$r-param(bar = [ qw(a b c) ]);
@bar = $r-param('bar'); # ('a', 'b', 'c')
Am I the only one who wants consistency between the two?

Doesn't this have something to do with the way your shorthanding
Apache::Request?
Try
$r-param('foo',qw(a b c));
It might work... I remember running into this several years ago, and
never mentioned it.

No. It's my opinion that CGI.pm is wrong. Never would an input
value come out as an arrayref. And never would you want to store an
arrayref in something that might be used to generate hidden inputs.
Lincoln can argue with me.

Something to try perhaps. e.g.: http://server/perl/pdfgen.pl/MYPDFFILE.pdf?MYPDFFILE.pdf In my case, I had to do this trick to get *.exe files to download as *.exe instead of *.com. In the couple of PDF scripts that I have written, I used other modules to create a PostScript or PNG file, then used a system call to convert it to a PDF. For something that isn't being used very often this should be acceptable. Once its a PDF on the system, the file can read in and printed to STDOUT or a redirect to http://server/tmpfiles/$randomtmpfile can be done. -- Regards, Wim Kerkhoff, Software Engineer Merilus, Inc. -|- http://www.merilus.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem with Directory in Perl sections
OK, looks like no-one has any ideas - maybe I should rephrase the question.
Does anyone here have Directory working in Perl sections in mod_perl 1.25 or above?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have hit a problem with the latest couple of versions of mod_perl, and I wondered
if anyone might know a solution.
We're using Apache 1.3.22 with mod_perl 1.26, and there appears to be a problem with
the Directory directive in perl sections...
e.g.
$Directory{$DocumentRoot}={
Options = '-Indexes FollowSymLinks',
AllowOverride = 'None',
SetHandler = 'perl-script',
PerlHandler = 'Apache::EnsEMBL::SendDecPage',
order = 'deny,allow',
allow = 'from all',
};
does not work in a Perl section but it works fine outside:
Directory /mysql/ensembl/www/sanger-test/htdocs
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::EnsEMBL::SendDecPage
order deny,allow
allow from all
/Directory
/perl-status reports that the former looks as I would expect:
%Directory = (
'/mysql/ensembl/www/server/htdocs' = {
'Deny' = 'from all',
'AllowOverride' = 'None',
'Order' = 'deny,allow',
'PerlHandler' = 'Apache::EnsEMBL::SendDecPage',
'Options' = '-Indexes FollowSymLinks',
'SetHandler' = 'perl-script'
},
);
There are no errors reported, but the handler simply doesn't kick in. We have been
using this config for some months now, and this worked fine in 1.21. It stopped
working by at least version 1.25.
Anybody have any ideas?
Regards,
James

DBI 1.15+ establishes multiple connections under parent mod_perl process
I think I have found a curious bug in DBI. It seems that since DBI 1.15 - 1.20, when you bring up apache/mod_perl and execute queries against the database handle in the parent process (startup.pl), multiple connections result against the database. If I switch to DBI 1.14, no such problem occurs. I have found this problem occurs with: DBI 1.20 + DBD::Oracle 1.12 DBI 1.15 + DBD::Oracle 1.07 DBI 1.16 + DBD::Oracle 1.07 I have turned on Apache::DBI::DEBUG and trace(2) in DBI. Could someone tell me what I should be looking for or can someone else shed any light on this? I am not sure if this is necessarily a mod_perl issue or if mod_perl is just eliciting a bug in DBI. thanks, --eric
