Getting the request URL details using PerlOutputFilterHandler

Hi All,

I am using PerlOutputFilterHandler. I need to customize/filter the output based on where (for which
resource) the request came from.

How can I find the URL from where the request was made?

Thanks,
Rommel.

sub filter {
  my ($f, $bb)= <at> _;
  my $r=$f->r;             # this gives you the current request object
                           # see Apache2::RequestRec

  $r->uri;                 # these fields you may be interested in
  $r->unparsed_uri;
  $r->the_request;
  $r->filename;
}

RE: Getting the request URL details using PerlOutputFilterHandler

Many thanks Torsten for the valuable inputs. It worked just fine using the approach you provided. This is
great help! Thank you!

I am now checking why perl filtering is not working for pages being served from jboss (routed to it via the
apache web server) when it is working just fine for pages served from Apache's htdocs (being filtered as
expected) and access is fine for jboss pages that are not under the filter Location. Will be posting that to
jboss/mod_perl list. My config is:

<Location ~ "/(staticweb|jbossweb)">
    SetHandler modperl
    PerlOutputFilterHandler MyOutputHandlers::CustomFilterResponse
    allow from all
</Location>

staticweb is under htdocs and jbossweb is an app-context deployed in jboss .

Rommel.
