Jim Gallacher commented on MODPYTHON-46:
----------------------------------------
I've reviewed the source code and according to src/include/hlist.c:
typedef struct hl_entry {
const char *handler;
const char *directory;
int silent; /* 1 for PythonHandlerModule, where
if a handler is not found in a module,
no error should be reported */
struct hl_entry *next;
} hl_entry;
So Graham is correct. The logic of SILENT/NOTSILENT is reversed.
Also it looks like SILENT/NOTSILENT is only used in the context of python_directive_handler, so I don't see any side effects from making this change.
I have no objection to disabling PythonConnectionHandler within PythonHandlerModule. If there are no objections I'll apply Graham's patch.
> PythonHandlerModule directive is broken.

> Key: MODPYTHON-46
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-46
> Project: mod_python
> Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Versions: 3.1.4
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Attachments: silent.diff.txt
>
> Documentation for PythonHandlerModule says:
> PythonHandlerModule can be used an alternative to Python*Handler directives.
> The module specified in this handler will be searched for existence of functions
> matching the default handler function names, and if a function is found, it will
> be executed.
> The suggestion is that it will not complain if a particular handler is defined, ie.,
> only executes the ones it finds and doesn't worry about the rest. The example
> even supports this by saying that:
> For example, instead of:
> PythonAutenHandler mymodule
> PythonHandler mymodule
> PythonLogHandler mymodule
> one can simply say
> PythonHandlerModule mymodule
> BTW, "PythonAutenHandler" is spelt wrong in documentation, not by me.
> The "mod_python.c" code also seems be coded so that if a handler is defined
> in the module that it will not complain.

> Problem is that using "PythonHandlerModule" it gives back 500 error and if

> Mod_python error: "PythonHeaderParserHandler mptest"
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 291, in HandlerDispatch

> raise AttributeError, s
> AttributeError: module '/home/grahamd/public_html/phases/mptest.py' contains no 'headerparserhandler'
> The passing of "SILENT" thus seems to not work.
> The definitions of SILENT and NOTSILENT are:
> #define SILENT 0
> #define NOTSILENT 1
> This eventually gets set as hlist.silent and gets passed as "silent" argument of
> the "resolve_object()" method.
> In the resolve_object() call of apache.py where this is checked, it is checked as:
> # don't throw attribute errors when silent
> if silent and not hasattr(obj, obj_str):
> return None
> # this adds a little clarity if we have an attriute error
> if obj == module and not hasattr(module, obj_str):
> if hasattr(module, "__file__"):
> s = "module '%s' contains no '%s'" % (module.__file__, obj_str)
> raise AttributeError, s
> Is the logic the wrong way around here or am I just going nuts?
> The result of "resolve_object()" is used as:
> if object:
> ...
> elif hlist.silent:
> result = DECLINED
> This is supposed to propogate ignoring of the fact that the handler is missing,
> but again logic is wrong way.
> The simple solution may be:
> #define NOTSILENT 0
> #define SILENT 1
> All uses of this silent flag needs to be reviewed though to determine if this is
> going to stuff up other areas of the code.
