Re: Filter on top of a CGI script

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/22]

Hi Scott,

As far as I understand, your handler Apache::SiteMoved does all the
dirty work for you on Apache-1, replacing the hostname. Additionally,
you want your CGI script to remain as a CGI for some reason. In this
case you can happily live with no Filter chain. Just take the input of
your handler through the pipe.

Hope this helps,
