Do we want to provide access to Post or Cookies or other properties of the
HTTP Request?

Maybe the easy way would be to expose the sub process env...

I am less sure this is a good idea.  I am thinking that keeping
mod_transform as simple as possible is the best decsion, long term.

I am thinking only GET for now. and it can be enabled/disabled via the
perdir options, or via a note.

Largely I see this useful in writing/finishing my simplified docbook xslt.
as I can have the XSLT chapterize and TOC the document and provide links to
itself to load different chapters and sections.

implemented XPath NS function  http://outoforder.cc/apache:get(var)

ie.

<xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:apache="http://outoforder.cc/apache">
<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:value-of select="apache:get('myqueryarg')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and call the file with ?myqueryarg=value
http://www.example.com/index.xml?myqueryarg=Hello+out+there

I am really in need of POST arguments as well, in fact, I can't expect the
user to be happy when he types his username/password into the form and
will (on submit) them see in the URL bar afterthen, you understand?

that's why I'm using POST for at least passing stuff that should be a
little more securely (passwords, credentials)..

I don't know how to retrieve POST arguments within a filter, so, I'd be
happy when someone else could step in here...

Christian Parpart.

mod_transform-http.c is one mod_transform plugins I wrote. this one lets
actually access you HTTP GET/POST data using the above syntax
(get("key")), but I changed the namespace, and it's not mod_transform
builtin, in fact, you said you wanted to keep mod_transform more
lightweight (or so), so, everything extendable shall be implemented as
plugins then.

this plugin of course is based on the plugin-api patch I submitted. have a
look there.

although, it's using libapreq2, so you need this as a depend.

I plan in adding more http request_rec/apreq2 accessors, like cookies etc,
but this comes when the enough time and space is available ;)

Christian Parpart.
