[wplug] mod_throttle and bandwidth_module

[John Harrold]

so i'm trying to limit the bandwidth coming out of my webserver so shell
access out of and into my apartment will still be useful. i've read and
poked around a bit and the apache modules listed above seem to be what i
want. this is what ive done:

*using the bandwidth_module*

LoadModule bandwidth_module   modules/mod_bandwidth.so
AddModule mod_bandwidth.c

<Directory "/home/httpd/html/">
    BandWidth all 4096
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Allow from all
</Directory>

and the webpages i'm accessing are located under /home/httpd/html

this just doesnt work.


*using mod_throttle*

<IfDefine HAVE_THROTTLE>
LoadModule throttle_module    modules/mod_throttle.so
</IfDefine>

<IfDefine HAVE_THROTTLE>
AddModule mod_throttle.c
</IfDefine>


<IfModule mod_throttle.c>
    #ThrottlePolicy none
    #ThrottlePolicy Speed 5K
    #SetHandler throttle-me

    <Location /throttle-status>
    SetHandler throttle-status
    </Location>

    <Location /throttle-me>
    SetHandler throttle-me
    </Location>
    <Location />
    AddHandler cgi-script .pl
    SetHandler throttle-me
    ThrottlePolicy Speed 7K 1s
    </Location>

</IfModule>

this might work, but my perl scripts that are generating the webpages are being
spit out ast text and not running through mod_perl. now if i remove the 
SetHandler throttle-me
the perl scripts are executed correctly, but it doesnt appear to throttle the bandwidth useage down.

so does anyone have any thoughts?
