Thanks for the reply Graham, I understand everything about the phases firing in the order listed in the documentation. I THINK I understand how to get my mod_python handlers to play nice with the other handlers. The one thing that is still not clear is handler order when there are multiple handlers of the same class/type. basically the problem I am trying to solve is I want to do some pre-processing before mod_dav gets called. I want to implement some quota checking, some dir restrictions based on some headers existance and a couple of other housekeeping tasts before mod_dav gets the request and then do some cleanup ( commiting or rollingback transaction ) after mod_dav gets finished. I figured the correct place to put the quota check and dir restrictions based on headers is in PythonAuthzHandler. Simply because if any of the quota checks or other checks fail then mod_dav should never actually see the request. I could put them all in one PythonAuthzHandler but that is really not as "clean" as I would like because each of the tasks are not really coupled to each other in any way. So if I have 3 different PythonAuthzHandler's and I want them to process in a specific order, I have to put them all in one line? Or can I list them sequentically as in the last part of your response? That part I did not understand.
