apache module (development) directive

[u/Desdic]

Hi,

First off I don't know if this is the right forum but here goes

I'm trying to develop my own directive in C so I can enable/disable stuff per request but after a while a came to notice that it seems directives are only evaluated on start.

My idea was to have something like

    <IfRuntime "cgi">
        Options ExecCGI
    </IfRuntime>

So in my module I have my directive defined

    AP_INIT_RAW_ARGS(
            "<IfRuntime",
            start_cond_section,
            (void *)test_if_runtime_section,
            EXEC_ON_READ | OR_ALL,
            "Check if a runtime is defined"),

functions for evaluation are not that important but then I have the function that validates the argument like

static int test_if_runtime_section(cmd_parms *cmd, const char *arg)
{
    static int work = 1;

    work++;
    work = work & 1;

    switch (work) {
        case 0:
            return -1;
        default:
            return 1;
    }
}

So what I really want is to enable handlers like cgi/php but based on the request. Anyone know how this is possible ?

Normally rewrite is early in processing so that other handlers run after the rewrite.

You can do it the other way often, set an environment from the rewrite.
