5.1.2 PythonPostReadRequestHandler
Syntax:
Python*Handler Syntax
Context:
server config, virtual host
Override:
not None
Module:
mod_python.c
This handler is called after the request has been read but before any
other phases have been processed. This is useful to make decisions
based upon the input header fields.
NOTE: When this phase of the request is processed, the URI has not yet
been translated into a path name, therefore this directive could never
be executed by Apache if it could specified within <Directory> ,
<Location> , <File> directives or in an .htaccess
file. The only place this directive is allowed is the main
configuration file, and the code for it will execute in the main
interpreter. And because this phase happens before any identification
of the type of content being requested is done (i.e. is this a python
program or a gif?), the python routine specified with this handler
will be called for ALL requests on this server (not just python
programs), which is an important consideration if performance is a
priority.
The handlers below are documented in order in
which phases are processed by Apache.
