mailing list highlights

well as compare using HUP or USR1 for log rotation [9]
A sample log rotation script was provided [10]
o The FastDB Access thread was resurrected this week, offering
discussion on using Storable, the speed of flat file retrieval
based on filename length, and more. [11]
o Interested in seeing a high-end ISP that knows what mod_perl
developers want? Fill out a brief survey and maybe someday
we'll all live to see it... [12]
o Some interesting drawbacks of Apache::DBI, such as not dealing
with table locks properly, can be found in the latter half of
this thread [13]
o There was a short thread that started to discuss how to deal
with spiders [14]
o A lesson in proxying and using X-Fowarded-For [15]
FAQ of the week
actually, two this week...
o How can I read from POST more than once?
You can't. But, of course, this is mod_perl so there are many
ways around the situation. You could cache the data yourself
using pnotes or write a handler to make POST data look like it
was a GET, for example. Investigate use of the experimental
PERL_STASH_POST_DATA mod_perl build option, or check out some
examples in the archives, the mod_perl Guide, and third party
Apache modules on CPAN such as Apache::RequestNotes.
o How do I unsubscribe from the mod_perl mailing list?
Why would you want to do that? Most mailing lists these days
include unsubscribe information in the mail headers. Were you
to look there, you would see
list-unsubscribe: <ma...@apache.org>
Just send an empty email to that address.
