Apache2::Util - Perl API for Misc Apache Utility functions

  use Apache2::Util ();
  
  # OS escape path
  $escaped_path = Apache2::Util::escape_path($path, "a 'long' file.html");
  
  # format time as a string
  my $fmt = "%a, %D %H:%M:%S %Z";
  $fmtdate = Apache2::Util::ht_time($r->pool, $r->request_time, $fmt, 0);

Various Apache utilities that don't fit into any other group.

"Apache2::Util" provides the following functions and/or methods:

convert an OS path to a URL in an OS dependant way.

  $escaped_path = Apache2::Util::escape_path($path, $p);
  $escaped_path = Apache2::Util::escape_path($path, $p, $partial);
The path to convert
The pool to allocate from
if TRUE, assume that the path will be appended to something with a '/' in it (and thus does not prefix "./")

if FALSE it prepends "./" unless $path contains ":" optionally followed by "/".

the default is TRUE

The escaped path

Convert time from an integer value into a string in a specified format

  $time_str = Apache2::Util::ht_time($p);
  $time_str = Apache2::Util::ht_time($p, $time);
  $time_str = Apache2::Util::ht_time($p, $time, $fmt);
  $time_str = Apache2::Util::ht_time($p, $time, $fmt, $gmt);
The pool to allocate memory from
The time to convert (e.g., time() or "$r->request_time").

If the value is not passed the current time will be used.

The format to use for the conversion, using strftime(3) tokens.

If the value is not passed the default format used is:

  "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z"
    
The time will be not converted to GMT if FALSE is passed.

If the value is not passed TRUE (do convert) is used as a default.

The string that represents the specified time

Examples:

Use current time, the default format and convert to GMT:

  $fmtdate = Apache2::Util::ht_time($r->pool);

Use my time, the default format and convert to GMT:

  my $time = time+100;
  $fmtdate = Apache2::Util::ht_time($r->pool, $time);

Use the time the request has started, custom format and don't convert to GMT:

  my $fmt = "%a, %D %H:%M:%S %Z";
  $fmtdate = Apache2::Util::ht_time($r->pool, $r->request_time, $fmt, 0);
