Hello,

I am writing a perl authentication module for Apache= 2 that must inspect some request parameters before authorizing the requesto= r and forwarding the request to a tomcat server via mod_jk.

With the GET request method this is easy, I can insp= ect the parameters using $r->args and forward the request.

With the POST request method I can READ the request = body, but it appears that the request body is removed from the request and = is not forwarded to tomcat via mod_jk. Is this correct?

How do I inspect POST request parameters without mod= ifying the request?

I know there must be a standard way to do this kind = of thing but I have been unable find the answer after several hours of read= ing.

Thank you for your help.

-James
