libapreq - Generic Apache Request Library
http://httpd.apache.org/apreq/
This package contains modules for manipulating client request data via
the Apache API with Perl and C. Functionality includes:
- parsing of application/x-www-form-urlencoded data
- parsing of multipart/form-data
- parsing of HTTP Cookies
See libapreq.pod for the C API documentation and
eg/c/ for examples.
The Perl modules are simply a thin xs layer on top of libapreq,
making them a lighter and faster alternative to CGI.pm and
CGI::Cookie. See the Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie documentation
for more details and eg/perl/ for examples.
The Perl interface was designed by Lincoln Stein (lstein@cshl.org),
originally implemented as a pure Perl Apache::Request module.
The C implementation has a similar look-and-feel, including structures
modeled from Lincoln's Perl design.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To install the Perl modules, your mod_perl installation
MUST includes support for Apache::Table. This means that mod_perl should
be built using the EVERYTHING=1, or at minimum PERL_TABLE_API=1. If you
see errors like this (during compilation of libapreq)
Error: 'Apache::Table' not in typemap in Request.xs,
your mod_perl must be rebuilt to include Apache::Table support.
The Perl interface also includes experimental support for Perl+sfio builds:
% perl Makefile.PL DEFINE=-DSFIO
% make
% make install
Portions of the C code are based on examples from:
Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C,
Lincoln Stein & Doug MacEachern,
O'Reilly & Associates, Sebastapol, CA, 1998,
ISBN 1-56592-567-X.
