custom server string
i need to change the outgoing Server header on all requests to our site.
dont ask why I would want to do that. i have my orders. i read some old
posts from the 90's which said I would have to write my own
send_http_header() method. sounds fun but id rather not. Is this still the
case and if so...why? has anyone else had to do this?

Just yesterday Randal posted a handler here that adds a
X_mod_perl_rules header to every page out of his site. Perhaps you
could modify that?

yeah....the whole enchilada. thats what we ended up doing. puting it right
in the source and recompiling....[sigh]. oh well, even still, mod_perl
rules.

Is it the whole of the Server string you want to change or do you just want to add your own module name? If it is the later you can make a simple little module in C that uses the ap_add_version_component() function. If you want to change the whole Server string you'd probably have to edit the source files of apache.

True, but not especially helpful in this case.
T.J., if you grok XS you might have a look at this part of
write_client() in Apache.xs:
for(i = 1; i <= items - 1; i++) {
int sent = 0;
SV *sv = SvROK(ST(i)) && (SvTYPE(SvRV(ST(i))) == SVt_PV) ?
(SV*)SvRV(ST(i)) : ST(i);
buffer = SvPV(sv, len);
Try looking at your $text with Devel::Peek to see whether there are any
differences in what it contains in the two cases.

You mean "global", not "greedy"
Two snippets from the perl documentation:
s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimosx
Options are:
e Evaluate the right side as an expression.
g Replace globally, i.e., all occurrences.
i Do case-insensitive pattern matching.
....
-- and --
By default, a quantified subpattern is ``greedy'', that is, it will match as
many times as possible (given a particular starting location) while still
allowing the rest of the pattern to match. If you want it to match the minimum
number of times possible, follow the quantifier with a ``?''. Note that the
meanings don't change, just the ``greediness'':
*? Match 0 or more times
+? Match 1 or more times
....

weird print bug?
Posted by "T.J. Mather" <tj...@thoughtstore.com>.
Hi,
I'm running into some very strange behaviour with Apache::print. print()
is supposed to dereference any arguments that are scalar references.
However it doesn't work if you apply a non-greedy substitution operator on
the scalar.
The following code outputs in my browser:
CODE:
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $text = "hello world";
$text =~ s/hello/hi/;
$r->print(\$text);
}
OUTPUT:
SCALAR(0x89bd084)
What's really weird is that it works if i change the
substitution operator to greedy:
CODE:
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $text = "hello world";
$text =~ s/hello/hi/g; # <--- changed to /g
$r->print(\$text);
}
OUTPUT:
hi world
Any ideas? I'm running Perl 5.6.0/mod_perl 1.24/Apache 1.3.12 on Linux
2.2.12 (red hat 6.1) on i686.
Thanks,
T.J. Mather
