DECLINED unless 'text/html' but images never make it

["R.Munden" <or...@netorbit.com>]

I've a script (controlled by a <Location> directive) that wraps a standard
header and footer around an HTML page

I've this at the top of my script:

my $r = shift;
 return DECLINED unless ($r->content_type() eq 'text/html');

but any images that may be inline never make it to the browser (also, if I
explicitly call the image in question it never makes it to the browser).

Apache gives a 200 status code for these requests in the access log but
Netscape 6.2 just sits there and IE returns a 'Cannot find server...' error.

Any ideas, where to start looking, etc.?

Seems wierd. I do this quite succesfully myself, although I did have problems
when compressing images and html together using Apache::Compress - similar
symptom to yours. Are you doing anything else in the handler?  Have you stripped
this down to the most basic form e.g. a handler that prints out 'hello world'
with a single IMG tag in the html perhaps? And there's nothing in the error_log
at all? Try sticking some code in before and after 'return DECLINED' - something
like:

$r->log_error("Serving content type: " . $r->content_type() . " for uri " .
$r->uri() ) ;

So you can see what's being requested. Also, what does your httpd.conf look
like?

Be aware that if your client requests the / uri, the mime type that you get is
not text/html but httpd/unix-directory. You may want to change the way it works
to specifying what you explicitly don't handle (I recommend using regex here)
rather than what you do.

No. Requests for inline images are not subrequests.

How about trying:

return DECLINED unless $r->is_initial_req;

Image calls are not initial requests, they are sub requests.
