Re: Adding Post Data to a SubRequest

Hi.
If it may contribute something to the question :
I have a case where, within a response handler, I need to make a call to a back-end Tomcat 
through mod_jk (a simple GET, not a POST).  I initially tried to do this through a 
sub-request, and was getting segfaults in Apache for my trouble.
Rather than investigating this, I switched to making the call through LWP, and it has been 
working fine for a couple of years, on a variety of systems and Apache versions.
