Access to Apache 2 POST data?
I'm looking for a way to pass HTTP POST data from a POST request to a
subrequest, however, I can't find any methods in the mod_perl API that
deal with a HTTP POST request body.
Apche 1 mod_perl had $r->content, but that doesn't appear to be present
in Apache 2 mod_perl. Can anyone point me to the replacement? I'm sure
I'm just missing it.
If there's not a $r->content equivalent, maybe there's a bucket brigade
workaround or something along those lines? I just need to be pointed in
the right direction.
Thank you in advance for your help!

This looks like it will work nicely. For historical / search engine
purposes, the read() function is part of the Apache2::RequestIO package.
Here's an example implementation:
----------------------------
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Log ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK DECLINED :log);
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
# handle POST requests
if ( $r->method() eq "POST" ) {
# create a post data buffer
my $PostBuffer = '';
# loop over each line of data
while($r->read($PostBuffer, 1024)) {
$r->log->notice("[mod_cfml] Post Data '$PostBuffer' ");
}
}
}
----------------------------
With this, I got the following in my Apache error_log:
[Fri Dec 09 14:25:54 2011] [notice] [client 127.0.0.1] [mod_cfml] Post
Data 'stuff='
Which is exactly what I wanted, as I was submitting a blank form field
called "stuff" as a test.
Thanks Lloyd! =)

while($r->read($buffer, 1024)) {}
Should do it.
