NAME

Apache2::Controller::Methods - methods shared by Apache2::Controller modules

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: directives don't work because of problems with Apache::Test. For now it returns \%ENV instead.

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 it returns values from %ENV instead.

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_cookies( )

my $cookies = $self->get_cookies();

Fetches cookies with Apache2::Cookie->fetch. Caches them in $self->pnotes->{cookies} for the duration of the request.
