Thanks for the reply, I do not fully agree on what you say, why should I redirect and start a new session. What I am doing is inside the Authentication Hanlder I do the authentication and if success full I return the constant OK if not FORBIDDEN. How the the Auth handler get invoked is via a Location directive eg.show below The issue I have is printParam.pl does not print the POST parameters but it prints the GET parameter. I am using apache 2.2 with mod_perl 2.x Whay it is working for get and not for post what is the workaround for this. <Location /testURL> PerlOptions +GlobalRequest RequestHeader add MyHeader2 "%D %t" AuthType TEST AuthName "TEST1" PerlAuthenHandler Test->authen_handler .... ..... PerlSetVar errorURL "http://localhost/error.html" Require valid-user </Location> #following script will print the REMOTE_USER ENV variable Alias /testURL "/var/www/html/test/printParam.pl" matt.farey wrote: > > Usually an authentication handler will send the user_agent a redirect > header (for security) and start a new session on success, this handler > could save parts of the POST payload against that session (remember to > filter this data) so that when the user_agent makes the GET request to the > new URL the session_id is transmitted and your application can access the > session data, any make changes to the response: "hi filtered(_user_), > haven't seen you since filtered(_db_lookup_)". > In other words your handler should lookup the supplied POST credentials in > db saving the data retrieved from the db (perhaps last login, email > address ...) to a new session, and only then send the redirect (302) > > Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tracy12 <j_lalith@xxxxxxxxx> > > Date: Tue, 13 May 2008 20:21:01 > To:users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Is this a know issue > > > Hi, > > We have Apache Auth handler writting in mod_perl, after success full > authentication (after the execution of auth handler). > > The request parameter came as POST data is lost, but if I send the same > parameters with GET those are available. > > What is the reason for this, and how to preserve the post data came in and > use in subequent processes after the execution of auth hanlder. > > Waiting for a early reploy > Thanks > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Is-this-a-know-issue-tp17222678p17222678.html > Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-this-a-know-issue-tp17222678p17224085.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
