RE: How to specify a particular user module to handle a specific http request?

["Robert S. Nasby" <rnasby@shnaz.com>]

You can't specify modules like that.  tux must be set up to either send ALL
request to one specific module (the first one on the list), or call modules
via the URL (as in http://www.mydomain.com/module.tux).  There is currently
no way to specify module1.tux handle *.jpg documents, while module2.tux
handle *.mpg documents.  this is a feature I would personally like to see
included, but this would involve a change in the fundamental way tux handles
requests.

request?


Hi,

If I want to use my user module to handle some specific http request
(for example, requests for big graphic file), I know I need to add MIME type
in /etc/tux.mime.types(add a line such as "image/jpeg     jpg jpeg jpe"),
but I don't know how to specify a particular module to handle this kind of
request if I loaded multiple user modules at the same time.Suppose I loaded
demo.tux, demo2.tux,demo3.tux when starting TUX, but I only want demo.tux
to hanlde graphic file request, I don't want other user modules to be
involved.
How can I do it?

/etc/tux.mime.types doesn't contain the corresponding parameter to specify
a particular user module to hadle a particular mime type files, the
reference
manual just says "all extensions listed after TUX/module will be handled by
TUX userspace modules".

BTW, I can use http://localhost/demo.tux to invoke my user module demo.tux,
but if I specify
only demo.tux to handle http request about .jpg file, should the URL
http://localhost/sample.jpg
work and also result in "hello webworld" in the screen just like
http://localhost/demo.tux ?

Sometimes I feel I really need help from TUX experts since I can hardly find
any useful documents
about TUX in Internet  :-)
