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.

       o $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);

       o $r->header_out()
	     $r->header_out( $header, $value )

	   Return the value of a response header:

	      $ct = $r->header_out($key);

	   Set or modify the value of a response header:

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

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

NAME

       Apache::RequestRec -- A Perl API for Apache request object

SYNOPSIS

	 use Apache::RequestRec;
	 sub handler{
	     my $r = shift;

	     my $s = $r->server;
	     my $dir_config = $r->dir_config;
	     ...
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       "Apache::RequestRec" provides the Perl API for Apache request object.

API

       Function arguments (if any) and return values are shown in the function's synopsis.

       o server()
	     $s = $r->server;

	   Gets the "Apache::Server" object for the server the request $r is running under.

       o dir_config()
	   dir_config() provides an interface for the per-directory variable specified by the "PerlSetVar" and "PerlAddVar" directives, and also
	   can be manipulated via the "APR::Table" methods.

	   The keys are case-insensitive.

	     $apr_table = $r->dir_config();

	   dir_config() called in a scalar context without the $key argument returns a HASH reference blessed into the APR::Table class. This
	   object can be manipulated via the APR::Table methods. For available methods see APR::Table.

	     @values = $r->dir_config($key);

	   If the $key argument is passed in the list context a list of all matching values will be returned. This method is ineffective for big
	   tables, as it does a linear search of the table. Thefore avoid using this way of calling dir_config() unless you know that there could
	   be more than one value for the wanted key and all the values are wanted.

	     $value = $r->dir_config($key);

	   If the $key argument is passed in the scalar context only a single value will be returned. Since the table preserves the insertion
	   order, if there is more than one value for the same key, the oldest value assosiated with the desired key is returned. Calling in the
	   scalar context is also much faster, as it'll stop searching the table as soon as the first match happens.

	     $r->dir_config($key => $val);

	   If the $key and the $val arguments are used, the set() operation will happen: all existing values associated with the key $key (and the
	   key itself) will be deleted and $value will be placed instead.

	     $r->dir_config($key => undef);

	   If $val is undef the unset() operation will happen: all existing values associated with the key $key (and the key itself) will be
	   deleted.
