Re: [modperl 1.27] Problem regarding Perl*Handler and the HTTPrequestline
I was wondering if it is possible to write a handler to handle a 'new http method', because I could not find any hint in the user guide. :) if my 'new http method' you mean something other that GET, POST, PUT, etc then no, you cannot (in Apache 1.3, at least). just about the only thing you cannot do with mod_perl is parse the Request Line - that is handled by Apache before the request cycle starts. so Apache will intercept the requests before the PerlPostReadRequestHandler runs, similar to the way it intercepts HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host header. in Apache/mod_perl 2.0, you can write an input filter that _does_ allow you do parse the Request Line yourself. then again, you can write a protocol handler for any protocol you can dream up, so there's no reason to mess with HTTP :) --Geoff

Here is such an example: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlHeaderParserHandler Here is an example of the input filter that modifies the request headers (as suggested by Geoff): http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#Connection_Input_Filters __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
