Dear monks,

in a given situation we get xml data POSTed to our server, much alike RPC calls (actually they're a number of http (webdav) requests).

A (mod_perl) Fixuphandler traps these requests, parses the xml, and (should) from there on issue all requests to our server.

It seemed quite logical to (dynamically) create a subrequest for each given request. We would dynamically add a input filter to each subrequest, create a bucket brigade there, and fill the bb with the desired data; set the correct request headers, and run the sub-request.

(Part of) the code in the input filter that should do the trick is: 

$bb = APR::Brigade->new($c->pool, $c->bucket_alloc);
my $ba = $bb->bucket_alloc();
my $nb = APR::Bucket->new($ba, $data);
$bb->insert_tail($nb);
my $b = APR::Bucket::eos_create($ba);
$bb->insert_tail($b);
$r->headers_in->{'Content-Length'} = length ($data);
$f->fflush($bb);

For some reason, the sub-request never picks up the bucket brigade. Is there something I've overseen, or am I just trying to do the plain impossible ?

rgrds,

walinsky
