Mailing List Archive: SetHandler conflict

Is there a way to de-activate or get
around "SetHandler perl-script" for certain
directories within a <Directory>?

I have an web application (/websupport) that
doesn't work using "SetHandler perl-script", but
the rest of the website uses perl-script to write
a header.

My solution is to Alias "websupport" outside the
<Directory> realm, but I would love to know how
to do this correctly.

Here's what I've tried...

header.pm

sub handler
{
return DECLINED if $r->uri =~ /websupport/;
$r->handler ("perl-script");
...

this returns fine when you request /websupport,
but doesn't display the header otherwise. $r-
>set_handler ("perl-script"); doesn't work either.

PerlTransHandler is not permitted here.

<Directory /my/web/site>
PerlHandler Apache::translate Apache::header
PerlSetVar Header /header.conf
</Directory>

where translate.pm was...

sub handler
{
return DECLINED if $r->uri =~ /websupport/;
$r->handler ("perl-script");
return OK;
}

This doesn't display the header, but /websupport
works fine.

The solution probably lies with $r->push_handlers
somehow.

I am assuming you tried multiple <Directory> directives
to turn perl-script off for the directory in question and that
failed for some reason - as in:

<Directory "/">
# turn on for entire site
SetHandler perl-script
</Directory>

<Directory "/websupport">
# except for this directory
SetHandler pooper-scooper
</Directory>
