Hello,

Apache 2.2.4  
Ruby 1.8.6  
mod\_ruby 1.2.6

I try to use RubyInitHandler:

# ========================= .htaccess

RubyRequire myhandlers.rb

\<Files \*.html\>  
SetHandler ruby-object

RubyInitHandler MyInitHandler.instance

# ========================== myhandlers.rb

require ‘singleton’

class MyInitHandler  
include Singleton

def init( r )  
raise ‘in init’  
end  
end

===============================

1. Method “init” of my handler was not be called. Why?
2. I try to write wrong class name for RubyInitHandler, and also no  
error:  
RubyInitHandler \_\_\_\_\_MyInitHandler.instance
3. RubyFixupHandler works! All is OK.
