FakeRequest(3)

NAME

       Apache::FakeRequest - fake request object for debugging

SYNOPSIS

           use Apache::FakeRequest;
           my $request = Apache::FakeRequest->new(method_name => 'value', ...);

DESCRIPTION

       Apache::FakeRequest is used to set up an empty Apache request object
       that can be used for debugging.  The Apache::FakeRequest methods just
       set internal variables of the same name as the method and return the
       value of the internal variables.  Initial values for methods can be
       specified when the object is created.  The print method prints to STD-
       OUT.

       Subroutines for Apache constants are also defined so that using
       Apache::Constants while debugging works, although the values of the
       constants are hard-coded rather than extracted from the Apache source
       code.

           #!/usr/bin/perl

           use Apache::FakeRequest ();
           use mymodule ();

           my $request = Apache::FakeRequest->new('get_remote_host'=>'foobar.com');
           mymodule::handler($request);
