I have an application that uses mod_proxy (as a reverse proxy) to fetch content from a back-end server. My application needs to do some manipulation of both the request headers and the response body. Given that mod_proxy circumvents most of mod_perl's handler phases, I'm having to use filters to do what I need to do.
To manipulate the request headers, I'm using Stas' HTTPHeadersFixup module (i.e., I set Accept-Encoding: none, etc.) Then I'm using a HTTP output filter to analyze & modify the actual content as its being sent back to the browser. The question I have is how to pass data between the input connection filter and the output http filter. For example, I'd like to set a yes/no flag, or even a hash reference, and then retrieve it from the output filter. Ordinarily, I would happily use notes/pnotes to do this, but since connection filters don't have access to the $r object, this doesn't fly. Any ideas for doing this conveniently, short of using an external memory/db cache? thanks Eric -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
