Ocamlnet 3 Reference Manual : Netcgi_apache.Handler

# Module Netcgi_apache.Handler

    module Handler: sig .. end

Registering Apache handlers.

    type result =

`|` | `OK` | `(*` | This stage of request processing was handled successfully. | `*)`
`|` | `DECLINED` | `(*` | No erroneous condition exists, but the module declines to handle the phase; the server tries to find another. | `*)`
`|` | `DONE` | `(*` | The request is completely satisfied. | `*)`
`|` | `HTTP of `int`` | `(*` | The request returns the HTTP status code given as argument. | `*)`

    type t = Netcgi_apache.Apache.Request.t -> result

The type of handler functions. The exception `Exit` is considered as a normal way of terminating early. All other exceptions are logged and result in an Internal_server_error response by Apache.

    val register : t -> string -> unit

Modules may call `register fn name` to register one or more handler functions. The handler functions are then referred to in the `Netcgi*Handler` configuration commands as `Module_name.name` where `Module_name` is derived from the filename (given to the `NetcgiLoad` directive) and `name` is the string passed here.
