[users@httpd] Accessing POST data using mod_ext_filter?

["Redding, Jason" <JR...@ccbcmd.edu>]

I'm using a perl script as my external filter (mod_ext_filter) and I
need to find out how to access POST data from within this filter.

Platform: SuSe 9.2
Apache version: 2.2.0

For this, you need an input filter (mode=input).  If what you want to
do is affect both the request and the response, you'll need to
different filters, and should perhaps be thinking of a handler anyway.
 More specifics about what you are trying to accomplish might help.

Simple answer: you can't.  POST data is input data; ext_filter gives
you output data.

Alternative answer: there are workarounds, but I'd need to know more
about what you're doing to say what would make sense.

What is the purpose of your filter?  Why are you using an ext_filter
as opposed to a normal filter?
