NAME
Apache2::Controller::Methods - methods shared by Apache2::Controller modules
VERSION
Version 0.110.000 - BETA TESTING (ALPHA?)
SYNOPSIS
package Apache2::Controller::SomeNewBrilliantPlugin;
use base qw( Apache2::Controller::Methods );
# ...
my $directives = $self->get_directives();
my $directive = $self->get_directive('A2CSomethingSomething');DESCRIPTION
Methods shared in common by various Apache2::Controller modules, like Apache2::Controller, Apache2::Controller::Dispatch, etc.
Note: In this module we always dereference $self-{r}>, because we don't know if $self is blessed as an Apache2::Request yet or not. (This package is used as a base by multiple handler stages.)
METHODS
get_directives
my $directives_hashref = $self->get_directives();Returns the Apache2::Controller::Directives config hash for this request, with per-directory settings.
NOTE: real directives don't work because of problems with Apache::Test. For now use PerlSetVar.
When directives work, if you mix A2C Directives with PerlSetVar statements in Apache config, the directives take precedence and the PerlSetVar values are not merged. Hrmm. Well, I think there's a method, but I've got better things to work on right now.
get_directive
my $value = $self->get_directive( $A2CDirectiveNameString )Returns the value of the given directive name. Does not die if get_directives() returns an empty hash.
NOTE: directives don't work because of problems with Apache::Test. For now use PerlSetVar.
get_apache2_request_opts
my %opts = $self->get_apache2_request_opts( $controller_class_name );Returns the Apache2::Request options hash (i.e. POST_MAX and TEMP_DIR, etc.) for a given Apache2::Controller controller module class name. Caches this information for speedup.
get_cookie_jar
my $jar = $self->get_cookie_jar();Fetches cookies with Apache2::Cookie::Jar. Caches them in <$self-pnotes->{cookie_jar}>> for the duration of the request. Further calls to get_cookie_jar() from any handler will return the same jar without re-parsing them.
