> Add new member function to request object called "add_output_filter()". This would
 be a wrapper around the function "ap_add_output_filter()" and allow previously defi
ned filters to be attached to the current request such that output can be filtered t
hro
ugh them. For example:
>   req.add_output_filter("INCLUDES")
> It would probably be necessary for any such call to be done prior to the f
irst output being generated from the request handler.
> In addition to this member function, it may be necessary to also provide a
nother member function called something like "req.add_python_output_filter()
". This would be called something like:
>   req.add_python_output_filter("module_name::filter_name",path)
> Ie., like "req.add_handler()" but no first argument for phase.
> This method would allow a specific Python filter handler function to be sp
ecified. This would be equivalent to using the PythonOutputFilter directive 
to first name a mod_python based filter handler function and then adding it 
as an output filter.
>   # Main Apache config.
>   PythonOutputFilter module_name::filter_name MYFILTER
>   # Handler code.
>   req.add_output_filter("MYFILTER")
> Note that the PythonOutputFilter directive can only be used in the main Apache con
figuration file, it cannot be used in a .htaccess file. Whether it could be made to 
work in a .htaccess file in some way needs to be investigated. In mod_perl their equ
ivl
ent seems to allow it.
