in reply to httpd.conf configuration with mod_perl

In addition to perrins advice, here (mod_perl docs) are some other examples that document when to invoke a handler, how and why (in Apache2/mod_perl).

Regards

    Works now! Set the first PerlResponseHandler to PerlAccessHandler...

    Cheers!

      Having further complications with this issue - it doesn't seem to be working fully.
      Take this example: 
      <Location ~ /StockControl/Inventory$>
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlAccessHandler XTracker::Authenticate
   PerlResponseHandler XTracker::Stock::Inventory::SearchForm
</Location>

      [download]
      Authenticate is meant to redirect to /Home with the following code: 
      $r->headers_out->set( Location => "/Home" );
return REDIRECT;

      [download]
      This doesn't seem to be working at all - the redirect is being completely ignored, an error message is passed to the browser but then the browser displays the rest of the page as if an OK had been passed.
      Does anyone know how this can be changed to work in mod_perl 2?
      The docs mentioned in the previous post mention that PerlAccessHandler should return FORBIDDEN or OK, does this mean REDIRECT cannot be returned at all? Also, the page does not mention REDIRECT anywhere - has this been deprecated? How should it be replaced?
      Thanks!

        There is good documentation on porting code to mod_perl 2. Please read it.

        It should be fine to send a redirect. Your code may not be sending the right headers. The simplest way to check is to use Firefox with the LiveHTTPHeaders extension and see what is being sent to the browser.

        REDIRECT is not available unless you imported it from Apache2::Const. You can just use it directly: Apache2::Const::REDIRECT.
