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: =over =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 Ebody element, such as headings, menu bars and copyright notices. It is not built for inserting EheadE elements. =back =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. =back =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. =head1 AUTHOR John Ankarström, Ejohn [at] ankarstrom.seE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2021 by John Ankarström This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.32.1 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available. =cut
