My module configuration and AddHandler

[gromeck <gr...@gromeck.de>]

Hi everybody,

I am about to port my Apache 1.3 modules to Apache 2.2.
The modules are compile-clean and load into the httpd.

But I am having some trouble:

in Apache 1.3 I defined a handler for per-directory configuration
and I set an AddHandler directive in the config file like this

<Directory /mygifs/>
   AddHandler mymodule .gif
</Directory>

This worked fine: my module only get requests for *.gif files
in the directory /mygifs/.

Now, in Apache 2.2, my module will be called for every request
to the webserver!

I already scanned the documentation. Is this the new behaviour?

I added a configuration directive to my module to enable the
module explicit with something like:

<Directory /mygifs/>
   MyModuleEnable on
</Directory>

Now I get only requests for this directory, but for all types
of files. Do I have to filter out the extension on my own?
Doesn't help AddHandler any longer?

Any ideas?

You do not have to filter out the extension but the handler name.

Add something like
if (strcmp(r->handler, "mymodule") != 0) return DECLINED;
to the first line of handler function of your module.

Hi again,

ok, it seems that I found the solution:

before processing the request, the handler has to checked
if it matches the own handler name. This was already mentioned
in [1]. What wasn't said there is, that also the selection
for which extension the handler should be used work also
that way.

Thanks for your patience.
