RE: Request methods not found

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/11/02]

Having Just re-read your reply, (don't ask, waiting
for a machine sync to finish, bored...!) I noticed
that you said you didn't get an apache Object at all.

This is behaviour I've seen myself, and I never got a
decent understanding of why it happens?

So does anybody know under what circumstances it's
possible to NOT get an Apache object passed into your
handler subroutine?

Does this happen when a subrequest occurs?

Regards

Marty
