Hello, We're creating a plugin that blocks/redirects some requests based on its properties. We're using the C++ API, and created a RemapPlugin because we need different configurations for different mappings.
On the DoRemap method, if we figure we need to block the request, we create a TransactionPlugin instance, in order to intercept the SEND_RESPONSE_HEADERS hook and do some modifications to the response, such as changing the status code and adding headers. When we did this, ATS would segfault when we tried to set a header. Then we decided to create a global plugin to do some testing and found out that just by adding the GlobalPlugin the TransactionPlugin was able to perform the modification with no errors. We found out that the reason for this behavior is that the GlobalPlugin initialization calls a series of methods that end up calling initTransactionClientResponse before the plugin developers' hooks are activated. Notice that a GlobalPlugin + Transaction alone wouldn't do because we need these different configuration files. Of course we could have just one file and have a different sections in it for each remap, but we don't like this approach as the plugin's configuration file would have to be kept in sync with the remap file, that is, whenever a new mapping was added, we would have to add another section to the plugin configuration, and given the dynamic nature of our configurations, we find it to be too error prone. Given this, are we doing the right thing, that is, creating a Remap + Transaction + Global plugin or there would be an easier way?
