+
The request_rec structure +

The most essential part of any request is the request record . In a call to a handler function, this is represented by the request_req* structure passed along with every call that is made. This struct, typically just refered to as r in modules, contains all the information you need for your module to fully process any HTTP request and respond accordingly.

Some key elements of the request_req structure are: +

    -
  • r->handler (char*): Contains the name of the handler the server is currently asking to do the handling of this request
  • -
  • r->method (char*): Contains the HTTP method being used, f.x. GET or POST
  • -
  • r->filename (char*): Contains the translated filename the client is requesting
  • -
  • r->args (char*): Contains the query string of the request, if any
  • -
  • r->headers_in (apr_table_t*): Contains all the headers sent by the client
  • -
  • r->connection (conn_rec*): A record containing information about the current connection
  • -
  • r->useragent_ip (char*): The IP address of the client connecting to us
  • -

- +

So far so good. To access our new handler, we could add the following to our configuration: +

 <Location /example>
     SetHandler example-handler
 </Location>
 
+

When we visit, we'll see our current configuration being spit out by our module. +

Registering directives with the server +

What if we want to change our configuration, not by hard-coding new values into the module, but by using either the httpd.conf file or possibly a .htaccess file? It's time to let the server know that we want this to be possible. To do so, we must first change our name tag to include a reference to the configuration directives we want to register with the server: - +

-
+

module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA example_module = { STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF, - NULL, /* Per-directory configuration handler */ - NULL, /* Merge handler for per-directory configurations */ - NULL, /* Per-server configuration handler */ - NULL, /* Merge handler for per-server configurations */ - example_directives, /* Any directives we may have for httpd */ - register_hooks /* Our hook registering function */ + NULL, /* Per-directory configuration handler */ + NULL, /* Merge handler for per-directory configurations */ + NULL, /* Per-server configuration handler */ + NULL, /* Merge handler for per-server configurations */ + example_directives, /* Any directives we may have for httpd */ + register_hooks /* Our hook registering function */ }; -

+

- +

This will tell the server that we are now accepting directives from the configuration files, and that the structure called example_directives holds information on what our directives are and how they work. Since we have three different variables in our module configuration, we will add a structure with three directives and a NULL at the end: - +

-
+

static const command_rec example_directives[] = { - AP_INIT_TAKE1("exampleEnabled", example_set_enabled, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "Enable or disable mod_example"), - AP_INIT_TAKE1("examplePath", example_set_path, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "The path to whatever"), - AP_INIT_TAKE2("exampleAction", example_set_action, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "Special action value!"), - { NULL } + AP_INIT_TAKE1("exampleEnabled", example_set_enabled, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "Enable or disable mod_example"), + AP_INIT_TAKE1("examplePath", example_set_path, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "The path to whatever"), + AP_INIT_TAKE2("exampleAction", example_set_action, NULL, RSRC_CONF, "Special action value!"), + { NULL } }; -

As you can see, each directive needs at least 5 parameters set: +
