[mp2]"opaque string-content tables"
Hi All,
"APR::Table allows its users to manipulate opaque string-content tables."
What does it mean by "opaque"?
Thanks,
Jie

It's right there in libapreq2-2.04-dev. Please take a closer look at the
document at the above URL.

Jie, the above URL gives the information about the mailing list to post to
when having libapreq problems.

When you will want a performance boost, you will want to switch to
libapreq2 (Apache::Request).

Thanks, Stas. I am now parsing both the request body and the $r->args now.

On the C level that means: you can put in strings and whatever you put in
your get out.
On the Perl level that means that we convert any scalars into strings and
store that. Any special information that was in the perl scalar is not
stored. So for example if a scalar was marked as utf8, that flag is lost.
That explanation should probably live here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Table.html#Description
if the way I've put it is clear, I'll add it there.

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about, Jie. Are we talking
about something like $r->headers_in table? In which case it doesn't have
any query string data, other than the unparsed one, which you should
get/set via $r->args anyway. If not, please explain.

Also a related question about APR::Table:
Does a table object contain all the name/value pairs parsed from the
request line (with arguments/query strings) and from the body of the
request (like from POST), in a situation of a POST form that has a
query string at the end of the URL?
I know the CGI module does it well, but I do not want to use that
module for what I am doing at this time.
Thanks,
Jie
