Handing over the POST input to a virtual included part?
Hi,
is it possible to hand over the POST input of a SSI document to a virtual
included part of it?
I have an SSI document that contains
<!--#include virtual="/ptest/ptest.pl?$QUERY_STRING" -->
This way I can pass parameters that are passed in the URI to the subrequest.
But how can that be done if the request method is POST? (There is only one
such part that wants to read the input.)
Thanks,
Torsten

At that point it's so complex that I think the value of using SSI is
lost. I'd replace SSI with a local handler (or output filter) that
does the POST to the other server the way you want it.

Thanks, that is at least a starting point to think. But I don't know how large
the request body can become. So, I thought of something like read and cache
the request body in something like fixup of the main request and then insert
an input filter in the subrequest. The point is the subrequest goes through
mod_proxy to another server.
How do I insert an input filter in the filter chain of a subrequest? A
subrequest is created with an output filter chain but nothing for input.

convert the POST to a GET? there are docs on the site on how to do this.

I think that virtual includes are handled with Apache sub-requests, so
you might be able to get it the post data through $r->prev. Worth a
shot anyway.

My understanding is that this is not possible in 2.2, but is possible
in the development version (trunk) using the KeptBodySize directive:
