Re: Capturing server response

["Solutio at Gmail" <solutio@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I'll take a closer look at the module. But my first impression is 
that it works with Apache 1.3.x, and we have already switched to Apache 
2.0.x.

BTW, where the actual code of handlers and filters is supposed to be 
deployed? I'm afraid the documentation omits this, perhaps, assuming it's 
trivial.
