Apache...Handler(3pm)

💖 Apache::TestHandler 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for the module Apache::TestHandler(3pm). it's smol. it's sweet. it's giving "I just need the response phase to say ok" energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Apache::TestHandler — a few response handlers and helpers 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

k so here's the vibe, literally copy-paste coded:

package My::Test;
use Apache::TestHandler ();
sub handler {
    my ($r) = @_;
    my $result = do_my_test;
    Apache::TestHandler::ok1 $r, $result;
}

sub handler2 {
    my ($r) = @_;
    my $result = do_my_test;
    Apache::TestHandler::ok $r, $result;
}

two handlers. one file. no notes 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

"Apache::TestHandler" provides 2 very simple response handler. yes, handler. singular. we don't question it, we just stan 🫶

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

💜 ok $r, $boolean

The handler simply prints out "ok" or "not ok", and which one you get depends on the optional $boolean parameter.

If $boolean is omitted, "true" is assumed. so no $boolean = automatic slay ✨

💜 ok1 $r, $boolean

This handler implements a simple response-only test. It can be used on its own to check if for a certain URI the response phase is reached 👀 Or it can be called like a normal function to print out the test result.

The client side is automatically created as described in:

<http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html#Developing_Response_only_Part_of_a_Test>

$boolean is optional. If omitted, "true" is assumed. same deal as above, icon behavior 💖

💜 same_interp_counter

💜 same_interp_fixup

TODO

that's it. that's literally all it says. mystery main character energy, no cap 💀
