[users@httpd] Modules order

[Chirouze Olivier <ol...@volvo.com>]

Hi,

I try to run Apache.exe to go to the internet but I get an error with winzip - what is the URL please?
Ok, just kidding :-)

I'd like to know if there is a way to change the order in which modules are called by Apache (either by conf or by source code change...)

Here's my pb: I have a module that should limit number of connections by virtualhost, but I realized it was called once the proxy request is finished, which makes it useless.
I'm running Apache as a reverse proxy

What happens is:

1) Request arrives at virtualhost "vhost1"
2) URL is rewritten to www.intranethost.com/url (rules includes [P] flag)
3) Request is directly passed to proxy mode
4) Request takes as long as the "intranethost" needs to process it
5) Request is sent to the limit module (mod_cband)

I have been able to verify this in log files by setting log level to the maximum and adding traces to mod_cband.

So, there is no point in limiting requests if the limit is verified once the response is ready to be sent!!!

===> I need to move 5) between 1) and 2)...

I've tried moving LoadModule directives (mod_cband first), putting my mod_cband directives at the begining of my virtualhost scope... nothing changes. I can't manage to have this module called before mod_rewrite and mod_proxy.
Should this be specified in the module source code itself?

Thanks!

Olivier

Thanks a lot Joshua, that proved useful.

I had to hack the code to make it work, but... It does!!!

I think the best introduction on this subject is probably
http://www.apachetutor.org/dev/request
Nic also has a book on apache module development that I'm sure covers
this in detail.
