NAME

Apache::compat -- 1.x backward compatibility functions deprecated in 2.x

SYNOPSIS

use Apache::compat;

DESCRIPTION

Apache::compat includes all the functions that are deprecated in mod_perl 2.x. If you code uses any of these functions you should just include this module in your code and everything should work.

However, certain functionality is not optimized and therefore it's the best to try to port your code not to use deprecated functions and stop using the compatibility layer.

API

META: complete

Function arguments (if any) and return values are shown in the function's synopsis.

  • $r->header_in()

    $r->header_in( $header_name, [$value] )

    Return the value of a client header:

    $ct = $r->header_in($key);

    Set or modify the value of a client header:

    $r->header_in($key, $val);

  • $r->header_out()

    $r->header_out( $header, $value )

    Return the value of a response header:

    $ct = $r->header_out($key);

    Set or modify the value of a response header:

    $r->header_out($key, $val);

    You should not define any "Content-XXX" headers by calling this method, because these headers use their own specific methods.
