Hi,I have a long-standing problem with getting output filters to work in Location blocks. Here's an example configuration:<VirtualHost 129.234.186.122:80> ServerName dev.cedar.ac.uk [and so on...] ExtFilterDefine hepforge-wrapper mode=output intype=text/html \ outtype=text/html cmd=/cedar/testlocal/cgi-bin/hepforge-web-wrapper ## ReStructuredText AddType text/html .rst Action rst-handler /cgi-bin/rst-filter AddHandler rst-handler .rst ## CGI bin ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /cedar/testlocal/cgi-bin/ <Location /testhf > SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper </Location> ... </VirtualHost>I would expect that this Location block would apply the "hepforge-filter" output filter to any HTML encountered at http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf, but it doesn't work. However, a .rst document at http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf/rsttest (I'm using multiviews, hence the AddType for .rst) *will* get passed through the filter succesfully if I add this:<Location /cgi-bin > SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper </Location> (You can check this behaviour at these addresses: they're real URLs.)Finally, I can make the http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf area get filtered if I add a Directory section instead of a Location:<Directory /www/dev/testhf > SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper </Directory>It's my understanding that Location and Directory sections should be semantically the same from the point of view of filters: I can't see why this configuration doesn't work. I can't just use Directory sections since, for example, some bits of the site are generated by CGI scripts outside the DocumentRoot.Is this a bug or am I just attempting to do something odd? :) Cheers, Andy
