you either need to have a PerlTypeHandler that sets $r->handler and
returns OK (to prevent mod_mime from settting it) or set $r->handler with
a PerlFixupHandler.

Well, that would be good if I didn't want *anything* to be served, but I
do - I just want Apache's default handler to handle it, instead.

But it turns out I was able to figure out the solution: I had to wait
until after the URI Translation phase to do this -- or else that phase
undid whatever I had done! So I added

   $r->handler('default-handler');

to the FixupHandler, and it works great!

Thanks!

just return DONE - the request will go straight to the logging phase.

$r->handler() Issue

[David Wheeler]

Hey All,

I've got a PerlTransHandler where I want to disable, under certain
circumstances (that is, whenever the content type isn't 'text/html') the
content handler. However, this code doesn't do the trick:

$r->handler('default-handler');

And neither does this:

$r->handler("perl-script");
$r->set_handlers('PerlHandler' => [ \&OK ])

Or even this:

$r->handler("perl-script");
$r->set_handlers('PerlHandler' => [ \&DECLINED ])

None of these snippets affects the content phase in any way; the
PerlHandler I install in httpd.conf gets executed every time, no matter
what. Can anyone tell me how I can disable my PerlHandler for the current
request?

Thanks,

David
