NAME

Apache::compat -- 1.0 backward compatibility functions deprecated in 2.0

SYNOPSIS

use Apache::compat;

DESCRIPTION

Apache::compat provides mod_perl 1.0 compatibility layer.

It includes most of the functions that are deprecated in mod_perl 2.0. If your code uses any of these functions you should just load this module at the server startup, and chances are that everything should work as it did in 1.0.

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.

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);

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

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