Hi,

I found a similar question posted in the newsgroups but no one seemed to have a solution. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a web page that does a POST to a remote server. Basiscally, I'm trying to read the post data and if it matches a regex, I want to redirect it. Otherwise, I want to let the POST continue normally (submitting to the remote server).

At the PerlTransHandler stage, I have a handler that reads the post data like so:

my $method = $r->method(); if ($method =~ /post/i) { my $content; $r->read($content, $r->headers_in->{'content-length'}); if ($content =~ /some_regex/){ # redirect } else { # continue with post return OK; } }

I can capture the POST data and redirect the user just fine. The problem occurs with the submitted forms that don't match the regex. If I just return OK, the browser hangs (because the POST data has been reset?). I'll admit I'm a bit confused as to what's actually going on here (still new to mod_perl). I read you're not supposed to parse the form data except at the ContentHandler step, but since the form is submitting to a remote host, I can't really do that.
