Bug 20944

Summary: mod_ext_filter doesn't set all CGI variables
Product: Apache httpd-2 Reporter: Neil Fraser <apache>
Component: mod_ext_filterAssignee: Apache HTTPD Bugs Mailing List <bugs>
Status: CLOSED FIXED    
Severity: normal CC: timof

Description Neil Fraser 2003-06-20 10:14:08 UTC 
Under normal cicumstances, when mod_ext_filter is called there are only 11
environment variables set.  Among the missing ones is HTTP_REFERER.

However, when mod_ext_filter is called on an SHTML file, the full set of 37
environment variables set.
Comment 1 Jeff Trawick 2003-07-11 11:12:49 UTC 
Note that mod_include sets additional variables in case the SSI file itself
causes a script to be executed, hence the difference in available variables
based on whether or not your external filter was processing the result of
mod_include.
