NAME
Apache2::Banner - a patch for Apache2::ServerUtil
SYNOPSIS
use Apache2::Banner ();
$banner=Apache2::Banner::banner;
$description=Apache2::Banner::description;
$datestr=Apache2::Banner::date $time;
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
DESCRIPTION
"Apache2::Banner" reimplements a few functions that Apache2::ServerUtil
didn't get right at least up to mod_perl 2.0.5.
Future mod_perl versions may fix the problem.
$banner=Apache2::Banner::banner
"Apache2::ServerUtil::get_server_banner" should do the trick. But it
calls the Apache API function only once when Apache2::ServerUtil is
loaded. That is not correct because the module may be loaded very early,
for example in a "<Perl>" container in the httpd.conf. Modules may
register components later. Hence, the Apache2::ServerUtil notion of the
banner is wrong.
The *server banner* is influenced by the "ServerTokens" directive.
$banner=Apache2::Banner::description
The same here, "Apache2::ServerUtil::get_server_banner" should do it but
doesn't.
The *server banner* is not influenced by the "ServerTokens" directive.
With "ServerTokens Full" banner and description are equal.
$datestr=Apache2::Banner::date $time
returns $datestr exactly the same way as the HTTP "Date" header would be
formatted.
EXPORT
None.
