Apache Windows ExtFilterDefine / Output / SED

Hi,

a couple of question concerning Apache Windows (tried 2.0 and 2.2) using the mod_ext_filter.

- Apache runs as a Reverse Proxy and I need to rewrite a received HTML document.
- On Linux I am using sed and a simple Regex to "clean up" the HTML code. Works fine.

On an Apache Windows (running on W2K3) i tried the same, trying several Win32 Builds of SED.
The call (on win) is something similiar like this:

ExtFilterDefine cleanup mode=output intype=text/html cmd="c:/sed.exe s/search/replace/g"
SetOutputFilter cleanup

What happens is that either sed (and apache) hangs or nothing at all, depeding on the version of sed. The regex is fine, it works on
the command prompt. However Apache+Sed on windows seem not to work well together.

My question:

- Anybody of you successfully modified output html code using ExtDefineFilter (or something similiar) on a Windows machine? What
tool you were using?


Tnx a lot! I am really stuck on that topic...

Mike

Taking your word against sed, try "perl -pe ' s{s}{q}g;'" or "perl -pe
'$|=1; s{s}{q}g;'"
