Path aliases with mod_plsql

Question

I'm trying to create a web application using PL/SQL. Not sure if this is the right forum but seemed the closest, if I should have posted somewhere else then let me know.
Ideally I want pretty much full control over the URL. I've got something working using a path alias function. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to get at the GET/POST variables from a path alias function. Am I missing something? Conversely, there is no obvious way of getting at the path from a normal function but you get the parameters.
Is there either:
- A way to get the variables from a path alias function.
- Another way to support custom URLs with paths and variables?
- Some way to get to a lower level and take more control over the dispatching of methods by mod_plsql?
Thanks

Answer 1

The problem is I want paths and parameters. Flexible parameter passing only seems to work for non path aliased calls. Getting the path only works for path aliases calls. ie. You can have either-or but not both. My question is basically how can I have a single function that gets called with the path and parameters? Can you have a catch all function that runs regardless of the URL instead of mod_plsql trying to be fancy and dispatch things itself?
Edit: I think I may be able to use an Apache rewrite rule to force all URLs through a given function. And then manually parse the CGI path variable. It just seems horrible though. mod_plsql seems to have been developed with a very narrow set of requirements.
