Sorry to remain off topic, but I also have a book recommendation for these
sorts of things - O'Reilly's "Dynamic HTML" (might be Dynamic XHTML these
days :-).

This really isn't the place to discuss the multitude of differences
between and faults in browsers.  You will certainly find more as you
travel this path.  All you can do is try to code in such a way as to
offer your users as little frustration as possible.

For some insights into browsers and their ways, see for example
"Professional JavaScript" ISBN 1-861002-70-X.

Difference between NN and IE

[Scott Alexander]

Hi,

Why is it Netscape displays the pop up authenticate window when the user enters 
the wrong password. But Internet Explorer displays my 401.html page if I return 
an AUTH_REQUIRED; from my AuthAny.pm handler?

If I click on the pop up window cancel in Netscape then it will display the 
401.html page. 

With Explorer the user actually has to close all Explorer Windows and start it 
again to get another attempt at logging in.

regards

and thanks in advance

Scott

they are the same, see http_protocol.c:

r->args = r->parsed_uri.query;

difference between ...

[David Hajoglou]

Would there ever be any difference between the output of the following:

(looking on the mod_perl quick reference card)

>From Apache::URI
$str = $uri->query()


>From Request object
$str = $r->args();

As far as what they hold about the request, would these ever differ, or
do they access the same data (in different ways)?


Thanks

Too see how much slower Registry scripts are than raw mod_perl
handlers, worst case for small scripts, check out the benchmarks at:

  http://www.chamas.com/hello_world.html
  
Looks like a 20-30% difference in setup overhead per request.

This has been discussed on the list before.  Please have a look at the

performance difference between apache/perl modules and registry scripts question

[Greg Cope]

Dear All

I have been asked to code several apache / perl modules.

these module accept a "post" consisting of a long string - do a few database
things and return a long string to the browser.

What are the advantages of using apache / mod_perl modules vs using a
registry / mod_perl style CGI script.

General memory use / efficiency are an issue and that is why I am being
asked to do modules as registry / cgi.pm is seen as"too slow".

I would prefer registry / cgi.pm as this is easier to code! (being
lazy:-)

Any thoughts / experiences would be appreciated

Thanks
