If you mean to grab the output of e.g. mod_autoindex by issueing a sperate
request using LWP, that's definitly possible. But I would classify this as a
"hack" and not as a proper way to implement a feature.

Or /is/ there a clean way to properly filter output from different response
handlers with Apache 1.3? I'd realy like to hear about it...

and it's perl - as you had said, if you stay within perl's boundaries, much 
more is possible :)

mod_gzip apparently does this, though I've never evaluated the code or how 
they do it.

http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/

which is why I generally say "filtering content is impossible in 1.3 (well, 
really, really hard)"

You can do all that staff on Apache 1.3 with appropriate skills. See LWP
for example.

You could probably issue a subrequest in a CGI program running under
Apache::Registry, though I'm unsure how to go about capturing the output
of a subrequest.  However, it would probably be easier to use
Apache::Filter with your own Perl handler:

PerlModule Apache::Filter
PerlModule Apache::Icon
PerlModule Apache::AutoIndex
PerlModule Apache::MyHandler


  PerlSetVar Filter On

  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlTransHandler Apache::AutoIndex::transhandler
  PerlHandler Apache::AutoIndex Apache::MyHandler


Then your handler can take the output of Apache::AutoIndex and do whatever
it likes to it in the same manner as Apache::SSI.  The perldoc for
Apache::Filter shows you just how to do this.

This is not possible using Apache 1.3. What you want to do is called
"filtering" and is available with Apache/mod_perl 2.0.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/overview.html#Integration_with_2_0_Filtering

With Apache 1.3, you cannot (e.g.) generate content with mod_perl that
includes Server-Side-Include directives.  You also cannot get the content of
mod_autoindex and further process this content using something.

What does work is to use only mod_perl, as suggested by Christopher Grau
