FilesMatch for files that don't exist

2001-09-17 Thread dss 

I'd like to have a controller module, where any url
that has a .phtml page will call the handler in the
controller module. Within the controller module I use
logic to determine which module (if any) should
process the request using push_handlers. 

The issue is that I'm using virtual urls, so these
.phtml files don't actually exist and FilesMatch
wants a physical file on the server. I'm curious if my
approach is the best way.

httpd.conf
--
PerlModule Apache::Controller
Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs
  SetHandler  perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Controller
/Directory

Apache::Controller (simplified for clarity)
---
package Apache::Controller;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw( :common );

sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $cv;

if( $r-uri =~ m{\.phtml$} ) {
$cv = 'Apache::PHTML';
} else {
return DECLINED;
}
OK;
}

1;

Now every request to apache will have to go through
this handler...is this the best way to do this?

Thanks.

Ooops, that should be:

Apache::Controller (simplified for clarity)
---
package Apache::Controller;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw( :common );
 
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $cv;
 
if( $r-uri =~ m{\.phtml$} ) {
$cv = 'Apache::PHTML';
} else {
return DECLINED;
}
$r-push_handlers(PerlHandler = $cv);
OK;
}

1;

It's easier to use a directory structure, i.e. everything under /perl/ is
handled by your controller module.  You should also look at
Apache::Dispatch.

Thanks. Unfortunately I'm trying to please the
designers and forcing them to put everything under a
certain directory won't go :(. They're used to
coldfusion/php, and I have to keep the structure of
existing sites. They did go for another extension for
the TT stuff though. 

I will check out Apache::Dispatch...thanks.

Shouldn't LocationMatch be what you want?
