Hello again
I'm still having troubles delivering my pdf-files ... I'm using the
code-snippets Geoffrey Young gave me, but i need to use an internal
redirect, because i provide the files with better (longer) filenames. I
can't find any tutorials or example-code for it, so I hope you guys can
help me ...
so what I'm actually doing is:
initial request:
- check permissions
- search the filename of the filesystem
- if it is not a static file: generate deliever file
- otherwise: make an internal redirect to the specific file
handle the internal redirect:
- generating header
- deliver file (if necessary with byterange ...)
this looks approx. like this:
if ($r-is_initial_req) {
if (static ()) {
$r-internal_redirect (newfilename);
}
else {
$r-send_header ();
$r-send_fd($fh);
};
}
else {
$s-headers_out-set('Accept-Ranges' = 'bytes');
$r-headers_out-set(Content-Disposition =
inline; filename=$name);
my $size = stat($file)-size;
$r-set_content_length($size);
$r-content_type($contenttypes{$type});
# determine if the request is a range request
my $range_request = $r-set_byterange;
# yea or nea
if ((my $status = $r-meets_conditions) == OK) {
$r-send_http_header;
}
else {
return $status;
}
my $fh = IO::File-new($file);
# handle a range request properly
if (($type eq 'pdf') $range_request) {
while( my($offset, $length) = $r-each_byterange) {
seek $fh, $offset, 0;
$r-send_fd($fh, $length);
}
}
else {
$r-send_fd($fh);
};
$fh-close();
return DONE;
}
My problem is now, that i know not exactly what i should return if i make
an internal_redirect and what i have to return handling this internal_redirect
accessing a file like this results in the access-log in:

All three entries comes out of an access to one file ... *?* am i doing
this right?
Il'd be very thankfull if you could help me inhere ...
I'm really in trouble with this, and i won't loose my pleasure using
mod_perl ;-)
Thank you very much in advance!!
