It sounds like perhaps you should take a look at the book "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" from O'Reilly. There are many ways you could do this, and a book like that will give you a sense of the issues involved. ------ Ken Williams Last Bastion of Euclidity [EMAIL PROTECTED]The Math Forum

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 () 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!
