=head1 NAME
Apache::Inject - Apache directive for injecting HTML headers and footers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
DocumentRoot /uar/local/www/apache24/data
PerlLoadModule Apache::Inject
Inject head.html foot.html
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Apache::Inject is a mod_perl module that adds an Apache directive
called Inject.
The Inject directive takes one or two arguments, which correspond
to the file names of two HTML files in the document root. The
contents of these files are then inserted into any requested HTML
file. The first file (the header) is inserted before the body of
the requested HTML file, while the second file (the footer) is
inserted after the body.
The directive is smart enough to place the header and footer in the
proper places. The contents of the header file is inserted after
any elements belonging to EheadE and before any elements
belonging to EbodyE (regardless of whether any explicit
EheadE or EbodyE tag is present in the source of
the requested HTML page). Likewise, the contents of the second
file is placed before any potential final E/htmlE.
Please note:

=item *
The Inject directive is valid only inside directory sections, such
as EDirectoryE, ELocationE and EFilesMatchE
blocks. It is valid in .htaccess files if AllowOverride
Limit/AuthConfig/All is enabled.
=item *
The file paths given to Inject are relative to the document root
of the current server or virtual server.
=item *
Apache::Inject is designed for injecting headers and footers that
belong in the EbodyE element, such as headings, menu bars
and copyright notices. It is not built for inserting EheadE
elements.

=head1 INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
=head1 OPERATION
Behind the scenes, the Inject directive works as an alias for
PerlResponseHandler and PerlSetVar. For example, C results in the following configuration being added:
PerlResponseHandler Apache::Inject::Handler
PerlSetVar InjectHeader head.html
PerlSetVar InjectFooter foot.html
This results in Apache::Inject::Handler being registered as a handler
for requests to the current directory or location.
Apache::Inject::Handler accepts all requests to files where the
content type is C. It reads the contents of the requested
file, as well as the contents of the C and C
files, concatenates them intelligently and prints their combined
contents.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
Apache::Inject::Handler logs all errors and warnings to the Apache
log file. Below is a list of all issued errors and warnings.
Note that whenever Apache::Inject::Handler issues an error or a
warning, this means that it also declines the request, letting
Apache handle it as it would if the Inject directive were not used.
=over
=item Error: InjectHead/InjectFoot should not begin with slash, as
it is already always relative to document root
The paths given to Inject are always relative to the document root,
even if the Inject directive is located within a directory section
that applies to another path.
Beginning any of the paths with a slash implies that there would
be some difference in behavior compared to omitting the slash, which
is false.
=item Error: InjectHead/InjectFoot cannot extend past document root
This error is issued if any of the paths given to Inject tries to
go above the document root by using C<../>.
=item Error: InjectHead/InjectFoot I does not exist
This error is issued if any of the paths given to Inject doesn't
exist.
=item Warning: Declining request due to empty document root
This warning is issued if Apache::Inject::Handler for some reason
cannot retrieve the current document root from Apache.

=head1 CAVEATS
On FreeBSD, you need to enable the accf_http kernel module in order
for the tests to work. Note that Apache::Inject works fine without
the module; it is only the tests that require it.
