I haven't used handlers or filters before in Apache. Searching online I see I can make use of "PerlPostReadRequestHandler" and may be read the content length. But I have few more quesitons: 1. After the request is read and if I find content length > x then how do I create the response and return from there without sending the request to mod-jk worker 2. If I find content length is ok and want to continue sending the request to mod_jk worker then how do I do that. 3. In the handler can I also generate custom response text? > > If it might be chunked, it should be relatively easy to rip the guts > out something like mod_deflate's input filter and teach it to count > bytes / return an error. > > -- > Eric Covener > covener@xxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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 > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
