Passing control from one apache module to another
Hello,
I am writing an apache perl module which logs HTTP
environment variables. This is fine for static content
(html, images) but is a problem for dynamic content
such as php.
I want my module to process the required HTTP
variables and seamlessly pass the http request back to
the control of other relevant apache modules.
Something like chaning content handlers but where I
can use other apache modules within the perl module
(or at least pass control between them). Does anyone
have an idea how to do this?
If I figure it out I'll let the list know (presuming
anybody is interested).

You mean in httpd.conf? I could use that but what I
hoped to do was pull http vars into a database for
each server request. This is so someone could
interactively view accesses rather than reviewing
static pregenerated files.
The overhead of opening and closing readonly
filehandles on different files which apache writes to
and then processing that data seems a little messier
than a simple sql insert.
I'm reading the apache modules book by L Stein and D
MacEachern to get a better understanding apache
internals.

Why doesn't Log Format work for you?

Provided you do this in a mod_perl handler before mod_mime is called
(i.e. before the type handler phase), then it should just work. I suggest
doing it in a Trans (uri translate) handler, and return DECLINED.
