DESCRIPTION

Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} implements Apache Server Side Include{.perl-module}, a.k.a. SSI.

Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} is inspired from the original work of Apache::SSI{.perl-module} with the difference that Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} works well when called from within Apache mod_perl as well as when called outside of Apache if you want to simulate SSI{.perl-module}.

Under Apache mod_perl, you would implement it like this in your apache2.conf or httpd.conf

    <Files *.phtml>
        SetHandler modperl
        # Or if you are running mod_perl 1.0
        # SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache2::SSI
    </Files>

This would enable Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} for files whose extension is .phtml. You can also limit this by location, such as:

    <Location /some/web/path>
        <Files *.html>
            SetHandler modperl
            PerlHandler Apache2::SSI
        </Files>
    </Location>

As pointed out by Ken Williams, the original author of Apache::SSI{.perl-module}, the benefit for using Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} is:

  1. You want to subclass Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} and have granular control on how to render ssi

:

  1. You want to "parse the output of other mod_perl handlers, or send the SSI output through another handler"

:

  1. You want to mimick SSI without activating them or without using Apache (such as in command line)

:

METHODS

new

This instantiate an object that is used to access other key methods. It takes the following parameters:

apache_request

: This is the Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module} object that must be provided if running under mod_perl.

You can get this
[Apache2::RequestRec](https://metacpan.org/pod/Apache2::RequestRec){.perl-module}
object by requiring
[Apache2::RequestUtil](https://metacpan.org/pod/Apache2::RequestUtil){.perl-module}
and calling its class method [\"request\" in
Apache2::RequestUtil](https://metacpan.org/pod/Apache2::RequestUtil#request){.perl-module}
such as `Apache2::RequestUtil-`request\> and assuming you have set
`PerlOptions +GlobalRequest` in your Apache Virtual Host
configuration.

document_root

: This is only necessary to be provided if this is not running under Apache mod_perl. Without this value, Apache2::SSI{.perl-module} has no way to guess the document root and will not be able to function properly and will return an "error"{.perl-module}.

document_uri

: This is only necessary to be provided if this is not running under Apache mod_perl. This must be the uri of the document being served, such as /my/path/index.html. So, if you are using this outside of the rim of Apache mod_perl and your file resides, for example, at /home/john/www/my/path/index.html and your document root is /home/john/www, then the document uri would be /my/path/index.html

errmsg

: The error message to be returned when a ssi directive fails. By default, it is [an error occurred while processing this directive]

html

: The html data to be parsed. You do not have to provide that value now. You can provide it to "parse"{.perl-module} as its first argument when you call it.

sizefmt

: The default way to format a file size. By default, this is abbrev, which means a human readable format such as 2.5M for 2.5 megabytes. Other possible value is bytes which would have the fsize ssi directive return the size in bytes.

timefmt

: The default way to format a date time. By default, this uses the display according to your locale, such as ja_JP (for Japan) or en_GB for the United Kingdoms. The time zone can be specified in the format, or it will be set to the local time zone, whatever it is.

apache_request

Sets or gets the Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module} object. As explained in the "new"{.perl-module} method, you can get this Apache object by requiring the package Apache2::RequestUtil{.perl-module} and calling "request" in Apache2::RequestUtil{.perl-module} such as Apache2::RequestUtil-request> assuming you have set PerlOptions +GlobalRequest in your Apache Virtual Host configuration.

decode_base64

Decode base64 data provided. When running under Apache mod_perl, this uses "decode" in APR::Base64{.perl-module} module, otherwise it uses "decode" in MIME::Base64{.perl-module}

If the decoded data contain utf8 data, this will decoded the utf8 data using "decode" in Encode{.perl-module}

If an error occurred during decoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

decode_entities

Decode html data containing entities. This uses "decode_entities" in HTML::Entities{.perl-module}

If an error occurred during decoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->decode_entities( 'Tous les &Atilde;&ordf;tres humains naissent libres et &Atilde;&copy;gaux en dignit&Atilde;&copy; et en droits.' );
    # Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.

decode_uri

Decode uri encoded data. This uses "uri_unescape" in URI::Escape{.perl-module}.

Not to be confused with x-www-form-urlencoded data. For that see "decode_url"{.perl-module}

If an error occurred during decoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->decode_uri( 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2F' );
    # https://www.example.com/

decode_url

Decode x-www-form-urlencoded encoded data. When using Apache mod_perl, this uses "decode" in APR::Request{.perl-module}, otherwise it uses "url_decode_utf8" in URL::Encode{.perl-module} (its XS version)

If an error occurred during decoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->decode_url( 'Tous les &ecirc;tres humains naissent libres et &eacute;gaux en dignit&eacute; et en droits.' );
    # Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.

document_directory

Returns an Apache2::SSIFile{.perl-module} object of the current directory of the "document_uri"{.perl-module} provided.

document_filename

This returns the system file path to the document uri.

document_root

Sets or gets the document root.

Wen running under Apache mod_perl, this value will be available automatically, using "document_root" in Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module} method.

If it runs outside of Apache, this will use the value provided upon instantiating the object and passing the document_root parameter. If this is not set, it will return the value of the environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT.

document_uri

Sets or gets the document uri, which is the uri of the document being processed.

For example:

    /index.html

Under Apache, this will get the environment variable DOCUMENT_URI or calls the "uri" in Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module} method.

Outside of Apache, this will rely on a value being provided upon instantiating an object, or the environment variable DOCUMENT_URI be present.

The value should be an absolute uri.

echomsg

The default message to be returned for the echo command when the variable called is not defined.

Example:

    $ssi->echomsg( '[Value Undefined]' );
    ## or in the document itself
    <!--#config echomsg="[Value Undefined]" -->
    <!--#echo var="NON_EXISTING" encoding="none" -->

would produce:

    [Value Undefined]

encode_base64

Encode data provided into base64. When running under Apache mod_perl, this uses "encode" in APR::Base64{.perl-module} module, otherwise it uses "encode" in MIME::Base64{.perl-module}

If the data have the perl internal utf8 flag on as checked with "is_utf8" in Encode{.perl-module}, this will encode the data into utf8 using "encode" in Encode{.perl-module} before encoding it into base64.

Please note that the base64 encoded resulting data is all on one line, similar to what Apache would do. The data is NOT broken into lines of 76 characters.

If an error occurred during encoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

encode_entities

Encode data into html entities. This uses "encode_entities" in HTML::Entities{.perl-module}

If an error occurred during encoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->encode_entities( 'Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.' );
    # Tous les &Atilde;&ordf;tres humains naissent libres et &Atilde;&copy;gaux en dignit&Atilde;&copy; et en droits.

encode_uri

Encode uri data. This uses "uri_escape_utf8" in URI::Escape{.perl-module}.

Not to be confused with x-www-form-urlencoded data. For that see "encode_url"{.perl-module}

If an error occurred during encoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->encode_uri( 'https://www.example.com/' );
    # https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2F

encode_url

Encode data provided into an x-www-form-urlencoded string. When using Apache mod_perl, this uses "encode" in APR::Request{.perl-module}, otherwise it uses "url_encode_utf8" in URL::Encode{.perl-module} (its XS version)

If an error occurred during decoding, it will return undef and set an "error"{.perl-module} object accordingly.

Example:

    $ssi->encode_url( 'Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.' );
    # Tous les &ecirc;tres humains naissent libres et &eacute;gaux en dignit&eacute; et en droits.

errmsg

Sets or gets the error message to be displayed in lieu of a faulty ssi directive. This is the same behaviour as in Apache.

error

Retrieve the error object set. This is a Module::Generic::Error{.perl-module} object.

This module does not die nor "croak", but instead returns undef when an error occurs and set the error object.

find_file

Provided with a file path, and this will resolve any variable used and attempt to look it up as a file if the argument file is provided with a file path as a value, or as a URI if the argument virtual is provided as an argument.

It returns a Apache2::SSIFile{.perl-module} object which is stringifyable and contain the file path.

html

Sets or gets the html data to be processed.

lookup_file

Provided with a file path and this will look up the file.

When using Apache, this will call "lookup_file" in Apache2::SubRequest{.perl-module}. Outside of Apache, this will mimick Apache's lookup_file method by searching the file relative to the directory of the current document being served, i.e. the "document_uri"{.perl-module}.

As per Apache SSI documentation, you cannot specify a path starting with / or ../

It returns a Apache2::SSIFile{.perl-module} object.

lookup_uri

Provided with an uri, and this will loo it up and return a Apache2::SSIFile{.perl-module} object.

Under Apache mod_perl, this uses "lookup_uri" in Apache2::SubRequest{.perl-module} to achieve that. Outside of Apache it will attempt to lookup the uri relative to the document root if it is an absolute uri or to the current document uri.

mod_perl

Returns true when running under mod_perl, false otherwise.

parse

Provided with html data and if none is provided will use the data specified with the method "html"{.perl-module}, this method will parse the html and process the ssi directives.

It returns the html string with the ssi result.

parse_config

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this sets three of the object parameters that can also be set during object instantiation:

errmsg

: The value is a message that is sent back to the client if the echo element attempts to echo an undefined variable.

This overrides any default value set for the parameter *echomsg*
upon object instantiation.

errmsg

: This is the default error message to be used as the result for a faulty ssi directive.

See the [\"errmsg\"](#errmsg){.perl-module} method.

sizefmt

: This is the format to be used to format the files size. Value can be either bytes or abbrev

See the [\"sizefmt\"](#sizefmt){.perl-module} method.

timefmt

: This is the format to be used to format the dates and times. The value is a date formatting based on "strftime" in POSIX{.perl-module}

See the [\"sizefmt\"](#sizefmt){.perl-module} method.

parse_echo

Provided with an hash reference of parameter and this process the echo ssi directive and returns its output as a string.

For example:

    Query string passed: <!--#echo var="QUERY_STRING" -->

There are a number of standard environment variable accessible under SSI on top of other environment variables set. See "SSI Directives"{.perl-module}

parse_echo_date_gmt

Returns the current date with time zone set to gmt and based on the provided format or the format available for the current locale such as ja_JP or en_GB.

parse_echo_date_local

Returns the current date with time zone set to the local time zone whatever that may be and on the provided format or the format available for the current locale such as ja_JP or en_GB.

Example:

    <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->

parse_echo_document_name

Returns the document name. Under Apache, this returns the environment variable DOCUMENT_NAME, if set, or the base name of the value returned by "filename" in Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module}

Outside of Apache, this returns the environment variable DOCUMENT_NAME, if set, or the base name of the value for "document_uri"{.perl-module}

Example:

    <!--#echo var="DOCUMENT_NAME" -->

parse_echo_document_uri

Returns the value of "document_uri"{.perl-module}

Example:

    <!--#echo var="DOCUMENT_URI" -->

parse_echo_last_modified

This returns document last modified date. Under Apache, there is a standard environment variable called LAST_MODIFIED (see the section on "SSI Directives"{.perl-module}), and if somehow absent, it will return instead the formatted last modification datetime for the file returned with "filename" in Apache2::RequestRec{.perl-module}. The formatting of that date follows whatever format provided with "timefmt"{.perl-module} or by default the datetime format for the current locale (e.g. ja_JP).

Outside of Apache, the similar result is achieved by returning the value of the environment variable LAST_MODIFIED if available, or the formatted datetime of the document uri as set with "document_uri"{.perl-module}

Example:

    <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

parse_exec

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this process the exec ssi directives.

Example:

    <!--#exec cgi="/uri/path/to/progr.cgi" -->

or

    <!--#exec cmd="/some/system/file/path.sh" -->

parse_elif

Parse the elif condition.

Example:

    <!--#if expr=1 -->
     Hi, should print
    <!--#elif expr=1 -->
     Shouldn't print
    <!--#else -->
     Shouldn't print
    <!--#endif -->

parse_else

Parse the else condition.

See "parse_elif"{.perl-module} above for example.

parse_endif

Parse the endif condition.

See "parse_elif"{.perl-module} above for example.

parse_flastmod

Process the ssi directive flastmod

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this will return the formatted date time of the file last modification time.

parse_fsize

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this will return the formatted file size.

The output is affected by the value of "sizefmt"{.perl-module}. If its value is bytes, it will return the raw size in bytes, and if its value is abbrev, it will return its value formated in kilo, mega or giga units.

Example

    <!--#config sizefmt="abbrev" -->
    This file size is <!--#fsize file="/some/filesystem/path/to/archive.tar.gz" -->

would return:

This file size is 12.7M

Or:

    <!--#config sizefmt="bytes" -->
    This file size is <!--#fsize virtual="/some/filesystem/path/to/archive.tar.gz" -->

would return:

This file size is 13,316,917 bytes

The size value before formatting is a Module::Generic::Number{.perl-module} and the output is formatted using Number::Format{.perl-module} by calling "format" in Module::Generic::Number{.perl-module}

parse_func_base64

Returns the arguments provided into a base64 string.

If the arguments are utf8 data with perl internal flag on, as checked with "is_utf8" in Encode{.perl-module}, this will encode the data into utf8 with "encode" in Encode{.perl-module} before encoding it into base64.

Example:

    <!--#set var="payload" value='{"sub":"1234567890","name":"John Doe","iat":1609047546}' encoding="base64" -->
    <!--#if expr="$payload == 'eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNjA5MDQ3NTQ2fQo='" -->
    Payload matches
    <!--#else -->
    Sorry, this failed
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_env

Return first match of note{.perl-module}, reqenv{.perl-module}, and osenv{.perl-module}

Example:

    <!--#if expr="env( $QUERY_STRING ) == /\bl=ja_JP/" -->
    Showing Japanese data
    <!--#else -->
    Defaulting to English
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_escape

Escape special characters in %hex encoding.

Example:

    <!--#set var="website" value="https://www.example.com/" -->
    Please go to <a href="<!--#echo var='website' encoding='escape' -->"><!--#echo var="website" --></a>

parse_func_http

Get HTTP request header; header names may be added to the Vary header.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="http('X-API-ID') == 1234567" -->
    You're good to go.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_ldap

Escape characters as required by LDAP distinguished name escaping (RFC4514) and LDAP filter escaping (RFC4515).

See Apache documentation{.perl-module} for more information

Example:

    <!--#set var="phrase" value="%{ldap:'Tous les êtres humains naissent libres (et égaux) en dignité et\ en\ droits.\n'}" -->
    # Tous les êtres humains naissent libres \28et égaux\29 en dignité et\5c en\5c droits.\5cn

parse_func_md5

Hash the string using MD5, then encode the hash with hexadecimal encoding.

If the arguments are utf8 data with perl internal flag on, as checked with "is_utf8" in Encode{.perl-module}, this will encode the data into utf8 with "encode" in Encode{.perl-module} before encoding it with md5.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="md5( $hash_data ) == '2f50e645b6ef04b5cfb76aed6de343eb'" -->
    You're good to go.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_note

Lookup request note

    <!--#set var="CUSTOMER_ID" value="1234567" -->
    <!--#if expr="note('CUSTOMER_ID') == 1234567" -->
    Showing special message
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_osenv

Lookup operating system environment variable

    <!--#if expr="env('LANG') =~ /en(_(GB|US))/" -->
    Showing English language
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_replace

replace(string, "from", "to") replaces all occurrences of "from" in the string with "to".

Example:

    <!--#if expr="replace( 'John is in Tokyo', 'John', 'Jack' ) == 'Jack is in Tokyo'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_req

See "parse_func_http"{.perl-module}

parse_func_reqenv

Lookup request environment variable (as a shortcut, v can also be used to access variables).

This is only different from "parse_func_env"{.perl-module} under Apache.

See "parse_func_env"{.perl-module}

Example:

    <!--#if expr="reqenv('ProcessId') == '$$'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_req_novary

Same as "parse_func_req"{.perl-module}, but header names will not be added to the Vary header.

parse_func_resp

Get HTTP response header.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="resp('X-ProcessId') == '$$'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_sha1

Hash the string using SHA1, then encode the hash with hexadecimal encoding.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="sha1('Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.') == '8c244078c64a51e8924ecf646df968094a818d59'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_tolower

Convert string to lower case.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="tolower('Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.') == 'tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_toupper

Convert string to upper case.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="toupper('Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.') == 'TOUS LES ÊTRES HUMAINS NAISSENT LIBRES ET ÉGAUX EN DIGNITÉ ET EN DROITS.'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_unbase64

Decode base64 encoded string, return truncated string if 0x00 is found.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="unbase64('VG91cyBsZXMgw6p0cmVzIGh1bWFpbnMgbmFpc3NlbnQgbGlicmVzIGV0IMOpZ2F1eCBlbiBkaWduaXTDqSBldCBlbiBkcm9pdHMu') == 'Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits.'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_func_unescape

Unescape %hex encoded string, leaving encoded slashes alone; return empty string if %00 is found.

Example:

    <!--#if expr="unescape('https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2F') == 'https://www.example.com/'" -->
    This worked!
    <!--#else -->
    Nope, it failed.
    <!--#endif -->

parse_if

Parse the if condition.

See "parse_elif"{.perl-module} above for example.

parse_include

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this process the ssi directive include, which is arguably the most used.

It will try to resolve the file to include by calling "find_file"{.perl-module} with the same arguments this is called with.

Under Apache, if the previous look up succeeded, it calls "run" in Apache2::SubRequest{.perl-module}

Outside of Apache, it reads the entire file, utf8 decode it and return it.

parse_perl

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this parse some perl command and returns the output as a string.

Example:

    <!--#perl sub="sub{ print 'Hello!' }" -->

or

    <!--#perl sub="package::subroutine" -->

parse_printenv

This returns a list of environment variables sorted and their values.

parse_set

Provided with an hash reference of parameters and this process the ssi directive set.

Possible parameters are:

decoding

: The decoding of the variable before it is set. This can be none, url, urlencoded, base64 or entity

encoding

: This instruct to encode the variable value before display. It can the same possible value as for decoding.

value

: The string value for the variable to be set.

var

: The variable name

Example:

    <!--#set var="debug" value="2" -->
    <!--#set decoding="entity" var="HUMAN_RIGHT" value="Tous les &Atilde;&ordf;tres humains naissent libres et &Atilde;&copy;gaux en dignit&Atilde;&copy; et en droits." encoding="urlencoded" -->

See the Apache SSI documentation{.perl-module} for more information.

parse_ssi

Provided with the html data as a string and this will parse its embedded ssi directives and return its output as a string.

If it fails, it sets an "error"{.perl-module} and returns an empty string.

remote_ip

Sets or gets the remote ip address of the visitor.

Under Apache mod_perl, this will call "remote_ip" in Apache2::Connection{.perl-module}, and otherwise this will get the value from the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR

This value can also be overriden by being provided during object instantiation.

    # Pretend the ssi directives are accessed from this ip
    $ssi->remote_ip( '192.1.68.2.20' );

This is useful when one wants to check how the rendering will be when accessed from certain ip addresses.

This is used primarily when there is an expression such as

    <!--#if expr="-R '192.168.1.0/24' -->
    Visitor is part of my private network
    <!--#endif -->

or

    <!--#if expr="v('REMOTE_ADDR') -R '192.168.1.0/24' -->
    <!--#include file="/home/john/special_hidden_login_feature.html" -->
    <!--#endif -->

sizefmt

Sets or gets the formatting for file sizes. Value can be either bytes or abbrev

timefmt

Sets or gets the formatting for date and time values. The format takes the same values as "strftime" in POSIX{.perl-module}

DOCUMENT_ARGS

:

DOCUMENT_NAME

:

DOCUMENT_PATH_INFO

:

DOCUMENT_URI

:

LAST_MODIFIED

See Apache documentation{.perl-module} and this page too{.perl-module} for more information.

expressions

There is reasonable, but limited support for Apache expressions. For example, the followings are supported

In the examples below, we use the variable QUERY_STRING, but you can use any other variable of course.

The regular expression are the ones PCRE compliant, so your perl regular expressions should work.

    <!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = 'something'" -->
    <!--#if expr="v('QUERY_STRING') = 'something'" -->
    <!--#if expr="%{QUERY_STRING} = 'something'" -->
    <!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = /^something/" -->
    <!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING == /^something/" -->
    # works also with eq, ne, lt, le, gt and ge
    <!--#if expr="9 gt 3" -->
    <!--#if expr="9 -gt 3" -->
    # Other operators work too, namely == != < <= > >= =~ !~
    <!--#if expr="9 > 3" -->
    <!--#if expr="9 !> 3" -->
    <!--#if expr="9 !gt 3" -->
    # Checks the remote ip is part of this subnet
    <!--#if expr="-R 192.168.2.0/24" -->
    <!--#if expr="192.168.2.10 -R 192.168.2.0/24" -->
    <!--#if expr="192.168.2.10 -ipmatch 192.168.2.0/24" -->
    # Checks if variable is non-empty
    <!--#if expr="-n $some_variable" -->
    # Checks if variable is empty
    <!--#if expr="-z $some_variable" -->
    # Checks if the visitor can access the uri /restricted/uri
    <!--#if expr="-A /restricted/uri" -->

For subnet checks, this uses Net::Subnet{.perl-module}

Expressions that would not work out side of Apache:

    <!--#expr="%{HTTP:X-example-header} in { 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' }" -->

See Apache documentation{.perl-module} for more information.
