Description

       "Apache2::HookRun" exposes parts of the Apache HTTP protocol implementation, responsible
       for invoking callbacks for each HTTP Request cycle phase.

       Armed with that API, you could run some of the http protocol framework parts when
       implementing your own protocols. For example see how HTTP AAA (access, auth and authz)
       hooks are called from a protocol handler, implementing a command server, which has nothing
       to do with HTTP. Also you can see in Synopsis how to re-implement Apache HTTP cycle in the
       protocol handler.

       Using this API you could probably also change the normal Apache behavior (e.g. invoking
       some hooks earlier than normal, or later), but before doing that you will probably need to
       spend some time reading through the Apache C code. That's why some of the methods in this
       document, point you to the specific functions in the Apache source code. If you just try
       to use the methods from this module, without understanding them well, don't be surprised
       if you will get some nasty crashes, from which mod_perl can't protect you.

API

       "Apache2::HookRun" provides the following functions and/or methods:

   "die"
       Kill the current request

         $r->die($type);

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       arg1: $type ( integer )
           Why the request is dieing. Expects an Apache status constant.

       ret: no return value
       since: 2.0.00

       This method doesn't really abort the request, it just handles the sending of the error
       response, logging the error and such.  You want to take a look at the internals of
       "ap_die()" in httpd-2.0/modules/http/http_request.c for more details.

   "invoke_handler"
       Run the response phase.

         $rc = $r->invoke_handler();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::HTTP_..."

       since: 2.0.00

       "invoke_handler()" allows modules to insert filters, sets a default handler if none is
       set, runs "run_handler()" and handles some errors.

       For more details see "ap_invoke_handler()" in httpd-2.0/server/config.c.

   "run_access_checker"
       Run the resource access control phase.

         $rc = $r->run_access_checker();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           the current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase runs before a user is authenticated, so this hook is really to apply additional
       restrictions independent of a user. It also runs independent of '"Require"' directive
       usage.

   "run_auth_checker"
       Run the authentication phase.

         $rc = $r->run_auth_checker();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           the current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase is used to check to see if the resource being requested is available for the
       authenticated user ("$r->user" and "$r->ap_auth_type").

       It runs after the access_checker and check_user_id hooks.

       Note that it will only be called if Apache determines that access control has been applied
       to this resource (through a '"Require"' directive).

   "run_check_user_id"
       Run the authorization phase.

         $rc = $r->run_check_user_id();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This hook is used to analyze the request headers, authenticate the user, and set the user
       information in the request record ("$r->user" and "$r->ap_auth_type").

       This hook is only run when Apache determines that authentication/authorization is required
       for this resource (as determined by the '"Require"' directive).

       It runs after the access_checker hook, and before the auth_checker hook.

   "run_fixups"
       Run the fixup phase.

         $rc = $r->run_fixups();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase allows modules to perform module-specific fixing of HTTP header fields.  This
       is invoked just before the response phase.

   "run_handler"
       Run the response phase.

         $rc = $r->run_handler();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The request_rec

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       "run_handler()" is called internally by "invoke_handler()". Use "run_handler()" only if
       you want to bypass the extra functionality provided by "invoke_handler()".

   "run_header_parser"
       Run the header parser phase.

         $rc = $r->run_header_parser();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           "Apache2::Const::OK" or "Apache2::Const::DECLINED".

       since: 2.0.00

   "run_log_transaction"
       Run the logging phase.

         $rc = $r->run_log_transaction();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_..."

       since: 2.0.00

       This hook allows modules to perform any module-specific logging activities over and above
       the normal server things.

   "run_map_to_storage"
       Run the map_to_storage phase.

         $rc = $r->run_map_to_storage();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           "Apache2::Const::DONE" (or "Apache2::HTTP_*") if this contextless request was just
           fulfilled (such as "TRACE"), "Apache2::Const::OK" if this is not a file, and
           "Apache2::Const::DECLINED" if this is a file.  The core map_to_storage
           ("Apache2::HOOK_RUN_LAST") will "directory_walk()" and "file_walk()" the
           "$r->filename" (all internal C functions).

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase allows modules to set the per_dir_config based on their own context (such as
       "<Proxy>" sections) and responds to contextless requests such as "TRACE" that need no
       security or filesystem mapping based on the filesystem.

   "run_post_read_request"
       Run the post_read_request phase.

         $rc = $r->run_post_read_request();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK" or
           "Apache2::Const::DECLINED".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase is run right after "read_request()" or "internal_redirect()", and not run
       during any subrequests.  This hook allows modules to affect the request immediately after
       the request has been read, and before any other phases have been processes.  This allows
       modules to make decisions based upon the input header fields

   "run_translate_name"
       Run the translate phase.

         $rc = $r->run_translate_name();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           The current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase gives modules an opportunity to translate the URI into an actual filename.  If
       no modules do anything special, the server's default rules will be applied.

   "run_type_checker"
       Run the type_checker phase.

         $rc = $r->run_type_checker();

       obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )
           the current request

       ret: $rc ( integer )
           The status of the current phase run: "Apache2::Const::OK", "Apache2::Const::DECLINED",
           "Apache2::HTTP_...".

       since: 2.0.00

       This phase is used to determine and/or set the various document type information bits,
       like "Content-type" (via "$r->content_type"), language, etc.
