Apache Request

[Javier Alonso Sánchez <ja...@gmail.com>]

In according to the documentation:

"The Apache2::Request module provides methods for parsing GET and POST
parameters encoded with either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or
multipart/form-data."

Does only work with these two body types?
Is there another way to get the body content and the headers at the same time?

Thanks

You might look at
Apache2::DebugFilter to look at the buckets of the bridgades being sent.

I don't know of any other body types at least a browser can send?

To get header information you use Apache::RequestRec:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_headers_in_

To get body content:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestIO.html#C_read_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_args_
Although parsing body content should be left to Apache2::Request in
normal circumstances. Using this method has the draw back that no other
handler later in the chain can read the content any more because it is
consumed by you.


If you need your own body parsing the better idea would be to write an
InputFilter http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html
to parse the content this is the same way Apache2::Request does it ;-)
