hi,

Did any one tried to access/coonect directly to mod_perl using sockets. for example $peeraddress = http://somesite/modperl if any 1 did that, i need few suggestions on that.

what im trying to do
client code

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use IO::Socket;
use URI;

my $location = shift || "http://openbox:1011/MW";

my $url      = new URI( $location );
my $host     = $url->host || "openbox";
my $port     = $url->port || 1011;
my $path     = $url->path || "/MW";

my $socket   = new IO::Socket::INET (PeerAddr => $host,
                                     PeerPort => $port,
                                     Proto    => 'tcp')
               or die "Cannot connect to the $host.\n";

$socket->autoflush (1);

my $hash = {
                name    =>    'sourcer',
                pass    =>    'unknown',
            };

print $socket  "POST $path HTTP/1.1","\n";
print $socket  "Host: $host","\n\n";

print $socket "hello this is a test sentence";

#print while (<$socket>);

$socket->close;
[download]

now the server code

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;


use IO::Socket;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => ( 'OK', 'NOT_FOUND' );
use Apache2::compat;

sub handler
{
    $| = 1;
    my( $r ) = @_;
    #$r->content_type("text/html");

        my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new (
                                                Peeraddr => "localhost
+",
                                                BindPort => 1011,
                                                Proto    => "tcp",
                                                type     => SOCK_STREA
+M,
                                                Listen  => 256 ) or di
+e "Couldn't connect : $@\n";

# wait for a connection
my $new_sock = $socket->accept();

while (<$new_sock>) {
    print $_;
}        

$socket->close;
[download]

i can connect to the server, but i send something to server nothing happens on server side, it does'nt log the client messages. note: Apache uses the same port that i mentioned in server code (peerport => 1011) thanks
Arun

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
