NAME

Test::Httpd::Apache2 - Apache2 runner for tests

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Httpd::Apache2;

    my $httpd = Test::Httpd::Apache2->new(
        custom_conf => << 'EOT',
    DocumentRoot "htdocs"
    EOT
    );

    # do whatever you want
    my $url = "http://" . $httpd->listen . "/";
    ...

DESCRIPTION

The module automatically setups an instance of Apache2 httpd server and destroys it when the perl script exits.

FUNCTIONS

new

Creates and runs the httpd server. Httpd is terminated when the returned object is DESTROYed. The function accepts following arguments, which can also be read and/or be set through the accessors of the same name.

listen

The address to which the httpd binds to. Corresponds to the "Listen" configuration directive of Apache. The default value is "127.0.0.1:<whatever_port_that_was_unused>".

server_root

The "ServerRoot" runtime directive. Set to current working directory if omitted.

custom_conf

Application-specific configuration passed that will be written to the configuration file of Apache. Default is none.

required_modules

An arrayref to specify the required apache modules. If any module are specified, Test::Httpd::Apache2 will check the list of statically-compiled-in and dynamically-aviable modules and load the necessary modules automatically. Module names should be specified excluding the "mod_" prefix and ".so" suffix. For example, auth_basic_module should be specified as "auth_basic". Default is an empty arrayref.

Note: "Authz_host" is automatically translated to "access" if the found httpd is Apache/2.0.x for compatibility.
