Hello list,

i'm trying to run a subrequest from within
a mod_perl content handler. The subrequest
is build from the request's 'lookup_file()'
method. Unfortunately, when i invoke the
'run()' method of the subrequest, no HTTP
headers are sent (even so the documentation
from 'Writing Apache Modules' claims that 'run()' 
  
  ... will do
  everything a response handler is supposed to, 
  including sending the HTTP headers and the 
  document body.

well, the Eagle book is a little out of date here

subrequests do not include headers, so if you use $sub-run() to send the 
subrequest to the client you are required to send headers yourself.

to alter this behavior, use $sub-run(1).

see Recipe 3.16 in the Cookbook, which is available for free from Sams:

Here's a short test case:

sub handler {
  my $req = shift;
  my $filename = /tmp/sample.html;

  my $sub = $req-lookup_file($filename);
  $status = $sub-status;
  if($status == 200)
{
  $ret = $sub-run;
}
   return ret;
}
Furthermore, if the filename given to 'lookup_uri()'
points to a directory, $sub-status will return '200'
but '$sub-run()' will return '301' (which is o.k. since
the filename should end with a '/' ...).
Any ideas?

which i can't, since i have no idea about the mime-type etc. of the
file ;-/

Ah, thank's a _lot_, that did it. Now, the only question is: why isn't
that documented?

Nice doc-pointer.

 thanks a lot

yes you do - the subrequest found out for you :)

$r-send_http_header($sub-content_type);

to alter this behavior, use $sub-run(1).

um, it is documented... if you have the Cookbook :)

Please submit a documentation patch for this. It should be somewhere in 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/api/
