Justin et al,
That is promising, but I can't alter any of the request parameters before the filter has a chance to record them.
I haven't tried this solution yet, but I believe URL rewriting will change the
request params to reflect the new target. This could work if my filter was run
before the URL rewriting, but I am using an output filter (e.g.
PerlOutputFilterHandler). I might be able to split my handler into input and
output handlers, but that approach will likely have consequences of it's own.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks for your time,
Erik
When you perform an internal rewrite (with the [L] flag), the GET/POST
data is passed along automatically to the destination page. The URL in
the end-user's browser will stay the same, but Apache will execute the
other script (in this case, /cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi). Since I have not
done much programming with Perl in regards to creating web pages, I
can't say exactly which variables will hold everything you need. I know
that GET/POST data is passed via $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} or STDIN, but if
you want to retrieve variables set by Apache, such as the original
script name or URL, I can't give definitive answers for that. I think
the %ENV hash will hold the rest of the info you need.

Hello,
I would like to direct requests for everything (cgi, pl, html, etc) under the
root directory to a single CGI. The catch is that I would like the parameters
to remain unchanged; passed to the single handler.
For example, for the following:
- /index.html
- /foo/fake.cgi
- /goo/moo/not-real-either.pl
- /another/faker.gif
I would like to invoke a single application (e.g. helloworld.cgi), but want to
retain the original request info (e.g. post/get, params, referrer,...).
I am trying to test (load/functionality) a custom filter and want to run
production access logs via JMeter. The logs contain a number of applications
that I don't have deployed, I just need something to respond to the request.
The filter inspects the request params, but doesn't care about the content of
the response. JMeter will want a 200 return code though.
Hope this is clear enough...
Cheers and thanks,
Erik
Unless I'm misunderstanding the task, a simple RewriteRule will
accomplish this.
RewriteRule .* /cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi [L]
