Mailing List Archive: [mp2] obtaining connection object within a filter

Hi folks,

Just thought I would mention this online documentation discrepancy, which I don't
believe has been addressed on the list yet.

This page:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/general.html
states that in order to obtain the connection object from within a filter, you must do this:

my $c = $filter->connection;

However, as I just discovered, Apache::Filter does not have the 'connection' method.
The correct method is stated on this page:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html

my $c = $filter->c;

Hope this helps! :-)

Of course it does ;) I've committed the fix. Thank you!

p.s. me thinking to have an alias, so $filter->connection will work as well
(in parallel with $r->connection). What do you think?
