[users@httpd] mod_actions

["Ludovic Beliveau (QB/EMC)" <lu...@ericsson.com>]

Hi,

I can't make mod_actions works for apache version 2.0 and 2.2.

I've added the following two lines in my httpd.conf file:
AddHandler sdp-file-type .sdp
Action sdp-file-type /cgi-bin/gen.cgi

Whenever I try to access an .sdp file, I get a 404 not found error.

In case you're wondering, the cgi script works and with server-info I
see my action defined.  Also, on a machine running apache 1.3, the same
config works.

Can somebody has a clue about how I could fix this ?  Or is there
another way I could do this (I simply wants all request for files .sdp
to be redirected to a cgi script) ?

Check the 2.2 docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_actions.html

Look in particular at the "virtual" keyword.

Or alternatively, just use mod_rewrite to map these requests.

(And yes, this was a change in behavior from 1.3 to 2.0.  But my
opinion is that the new behavior is better.)
