apr_base64 weirdness under Apache::Test

[Gavin Carr <ga...@openfusion.com.au>]

Hi test gurus,

Newbie weirdness question: I'm testing an apache C module using Apache::Test,
and it's failing somehow in a call to apr_base64_decode:

      buf = (char *) apr_palloc(r->pool, len+1);
      /* This line fails under Apache::Test */
      len = apr_base64_decode(buf, ticket);

buf is always empty, and len set to 0, although the ticket is definitely
valid, and the code works perfectly via my normal httpd.conf. Nothing
in the error log at Debug level either. Is there some Apache::Test lever
I'm missing somewhere, or is likely something else?

This is A::T 1.08, apache 2.0.48, and using a bog-standard 'perl Makefile.PL 
-apxs <apxs>' and t/TEST. 

Cheers,
Gavin

I doubt this has anything to do with A-T. It just glues pieces together.

So I'd check that your normal httpd.conf matches the autogenerated 
t/conf/httpd.conf. Check what are the differences and most likely you will see 
what the problem is.

Also you didn't say whether you use c-modules or just a plain C module. If the 
former than check that your module gets built with the same compilation arguments.
