internal redirect with byterange (was: open downloaded file)
Hello again
I'm still having troubles delivering my pdf-files ... I'm using the
code-snippets Geoffrey Young gave me, but i need to use an internal
redirect, because i provide the files with better (longer) filenames. I
can't find any tutorials or example-code for it, so I hope you guys can
help me ...
so what I'm actually doing is:
initial request:
- check permissions
- search the filename of the filesystem
- if it is not a static file: generate deliever file
- otherwise: make an internal redirect to the specific file
handle the internal redirect:
- generating header
- deliver file (if necessary with byterange ...)
this looks approx. like this:
if ($r-is_initial_req) {
if (static ()) {
$r-internal_redirect (newfilename);
}
else {
$r-send_header ();
$r-send_fd($fh);
};
}
else {
$s-headers_out-set('Accept-Ranges' = 'bytes');
$r-headers_out-set(Content-Disposition =
inline; filename=$name);
my $size = stat($file)-size;
$r-set_content_length($size);
$r-content_type($contenttypes{$type});
# determine if the request is a range request
my $range_request = $r-set_byterange;
# yea or nea
if ((my $status = $r-meets_conditions) == OK) {
$r-send_http_header;
}
else {
return $status;
}
my $fh = IO::File-new($file);
# handle a range request properly
if (($type eq 'pdf') $range_request) {
while( my($offset, $length) = $r-each_byterange) {
seek $fh, $offset, 0;
$r-send_fd($fh, $length);
}
}
else {
$r-send_fd($fh);
};
$fh-close();
return DONE;
}
My problem is now, that i know not exactly what i should return if i make
an internal_redirect and what i have to return handling this internal_redirect
accessing a file like this results in the access-log in:
[30/Aug/2001:17:13:13 +0200] GET

All three entries comes out of an access to one file ... *?* am i doing
this right?
Il'd be very thankfull if you could help me inhere ...
I'm really in trouble with this, and i won't loose my pleasure using
mod_perl ;-)
Thank you very much in advance!!

mod_auth_digest
Hello list it's now the fifth time i went looking to find sth on the web, but i didn't find anything. So perhaps it could be a little bit ot, sorry for that. I'm running a project using apache (mod_perl/mod_ssl/mySQL) on Linux for which i would change the authetication mechanism to mod_auth_digest, and i've the following questions: is the digest-authentication really necessary, when using mod_ssl, or would a basic-authetication be enough? For the moment i'm using a authentication over a form with session-cookies. Perhaps it is secure enough if i expand it (make it unpossible, to make a bot trying every cookie-value, and so on ...)? i have created a browser-front-end for the user-management. How is it possible to add/delete over Perl a new user/passwort to the digest-pw-file? I tryed it with open(), system(), ... but without any success. Thank you for every hint or URL ;oP Thomas Bach think karo... bkaro.net
Filter access to Files on Apache
Hello list perhaps it is off-topic (sorry for that, but i hope that somebody of you can help me), but somehow i wish to have a solution with precompiled perl such as mod_perl or ... everything else which fits to my needs. I want to filter every access of for example all .jpg-files on my apache for autentication purposes. I use my own cookie-based authentication mechanisms. So one solution i had was to add a handler Action auth authent.pl AddHanlder auth jpg and in the authent.pl use something like a internal redirection. But the only way i know to get this internal redirection is the following: open(DATEI, ...) print while (DATEI) close(DATEI) So, I'd be glad if you can give me some hints to solve this. Especially in order to efficiency (for that it don't have to be compiled everytime) I'm running apache 1.3.17 with mod_perl on a Linux machine. Thanks in advance! Thomas Bach think karo.. bkaro.net
strange caching
Hello list at first, sorry for my english, my motherlanguage is (swiss)-german i'm not (yet) that used with this stuff, but i've a really strange problem i'm using apache (1.3.12), mod-perl (1.21), Perl (5.005_03 built for i586-linux),DBI (1_14), mySQL (3.22.32) this is only my test- and evolution-environment, i'll put my project later to a provider, but if this is a bug somewhere i'll go around i've a perl-script which reads data from my database and puts it into a web browser, but if i change/add the data in my database this script won't show me the changings if i run the query in the normal mysql-frontend, i find the new datas i found out that the server runs the script (i read other data from text-files = changings inthere are puted out in the webbrowser) and mySQL processes the queries (i locked in the log-files) sometimes i can reload the page and then it shows me once the old datas anothertime the new datas (internet explorer alternately and netscape navigator 'randomly') if a modifiy/save the script = all goes fine but i don't want to save it everytime I (or the rest of the world) change my database ;( i've heard of another (in a german mySQL-mailinglist) who had also this problem, but he didn't really solved it (he goes around) does anyone of you know this problem (and perhaps a fix)? sorry if it's offtopic Thanks alot! Thomas Bach [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: strange caching
!thanks alot! i don't yet look really through, but once i'll ;) fact is: IT WORKS! [..] sometimes i can reload the page and then it shows me once the old datas anothertime the new datas (internet explorer alternately and netscape navigator 'randomly') if a modifiy/save the script = all goes fine . [..] See an explanation of this behaviour: http://perl.apache.org/guide/porting.html#Sometimes_it_Works_Sometimes_it
