That was a no strings attached code.

In the code you see, there is a check_dont_handle function, which
looks at the specified URI and decides if it should handle. Our handler
decides to handle it, based on the extension of the file requested. In
another web server, we also decline to handle if the requested URI lies
in some specific subtrees of the DOCROOT. If your handler declines to
handle it, then the default apache handler will take over. So all you 
need to do is to check if the requested URI is in the stdb subtree, else
decline to handle it, and the normal Apache Handler should kick in.
