$r->set_handlers behavior?

[Geoffrey Young <gy...@laserlink.net>]

good morning...

I'm a bit confused about $r->set_handlers and $r->push_handlers behavior.
Both are listed in the eagle book as being per-request methods, but man
Apache lists them both as server configuration directives.  I think, though,
that I'm seeing set_handlers as persisting with the child and push_handlers
as being per-request.  Personally, I'd rather have set_handlers per-request
as well for situations where I want to add a handler but reorder it with the
existing ones as well...

set_handlers is per-request.

the {get,set}_handlers patch posted earlier should fix this behavior, can
you confirm?  push_handlers() should probably also be implemented in terms
of r->per_request_config, rather than %Apache::PerlStackedHandlers.
