Re: Access to Apache 2 POST data?

This looks like it will work nicely. For historical / search engine 
purposes, the read() function is part of the Apache2::RequestIO package. 
Here's an example implementation:

----------------------------
use Apache2::RequestIO   ();
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
use Apache2::RequestRec  ();
use Apache2::Log         ();

use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK DECLINED :log);

sub handler {
	my $r = shift;

	# handle POST requests
	if ( $r->method() eq "POST" ) {
		
		# create a post data buffer
		my $PostBuffer = '';
		
		# loop over each line of data
		while($r->read($PostBuffer, 1024)) {
			$r->log->notice("[mod_cfml] Post Data '$PostBuffer' ");
		}
	}
}
----------------------------

With this, I got the following in my Apache error_log:

[Fri Dec 09 14:25:54 2011] [notice] [client 127.0.0.1] [mod_cfml] Post 
Data 'stuff='

Which is exactly what I wanted, as I was submitting a blank form field 
called "stuff" as a test.

Thanks Lloyd! =)
