Hi,
I have a long-standing problem with getting output filters to work in Location
blocks. Here's an example configuration:
<VirtualHost 129.234.186.122:80>
ServerName dev.cedar.ac.uk
[and so on...]
ExtFilterDefine hepforge-wrapper mode=output intype=text/html \
outtype=text/html cmd=/cedar/testlocal/cgi-bin/hepforge-web-wrapper
## ReStructuredText
AddType text/html .rst
Action rst-handler /cgi-bin/rst-filter
AddHandler rst-handler .rst
## CGI bin
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /cedar/testlocal/cgi-bin/
<Location /testhf >
SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper
</Location>
...
</VirtualHost>
I would expect that this Location block would apply the "hepforge-filter"
output filter to any HTML encountered at http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf, but it
doesn't work. However, a .rst document at http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf/rsttest
(I'm using multiviews, hence the AddType for .rst) *will* get passed through
the filter succesfully if I add this:
<Location /cgi-bin >
SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper
</Location>
(You can check this behaviour at these addresses: they're real URLs.)
Finally, I can make the http://dev.cedar.ac.uk/testhf area get filtered if I
add a Directory section instead of a Location:
<Directory /www/dev/testhf >
SetOutputFilter hepforge-wrapper
</Directory>
It's my understanding that Location and Directory sections should be
semantically the same from the point of view of filters: I can't see why this
configuration doesn't work. I can't just use Directory sections since, for
example, some bits of the site are generated by CGI scripts outside the
DocumentRoot.
Is this a bug or am I just attempting to do something odd? :)
Cheers,
Andy
