Re: Calling mod_proxy from a perl script

I think the reason why mine works & yours doesn't (it's exactly the same code)
is the execution order.

currently my hook is set up as:
  static const char * const aszPost[] = { "mod_proxy.c", NULL };

  ap_hook_translate_name(hook_name ,NULL,aszPost,APR_HOOK_FIRST);

so it runs just >before< mod-proxy.

also it returns 'OK'  (meaning the proxy's translate_name hook doesn't get called)

I can't share the source unfortunatly..
