  Public Class Methods
NONE.

  Public Functions

my $status = uri_handler()
    Handles the URI Translation phase of the Apache request if the PREVIEW_LOCAL directive is true. Otherwise unused. It's job is to ensure that files requested directly from the preview directory (/data/preview) as if they were requested from the document root (/) are directed to the correct file.

    Throws: NONE.

    Side Effects: This handler will slow Bricolage, as it will be executing a fair bit of extra code on every request. It is thus recommended to use a separate server for previews.

    Notes: NONE.

my $status = fixup_handler()
    Runs after the MIME-checking request phase so that, if the content-type is not text/html. Only used when both the PREVIEW_LOCAL and PREVIEW_MASON directives have been set to true, as it will prevent Mason from munging non-Mason files such as images.

    Throws: NONE.

    Side Effects: This handler will slow Bricolage, as it will be executing a fair bit of extra code on every request. It is thus recommended to use a separate server for previews, or to disable Mason for previews on the Bricolage server.

    Notes: NONE.

my $status = handle_err($r, $err)
    Handles errors for the other handlers in this class.

    Throws: NONE.

    Side Effects: NONE.
