[cgiapp] Re: header_props after header_type (was: cgi_minimal compatible?)

I believe the documentation should note that header_props should be set only *after* header_type. I was setting my cookie after creating a session tracking object. But, in some cases I would redirect the page later in the method. It took me awhile to figure out why my cookie wasn't set. I think it's ok to expect me to set the cookie later in my method. But, it would be nice if the documentation noted that the header_type must be set first. Mark, I believe your finding is incorrect. I wrote a test case to illustrate that setting header_props before header_type works fine. It's available as a patch to CGI::App 3.1 here: http://mark.stosberg.com/Tech/perl/cgiapp_header_type_test.patch If you continue to feel there is a bug here in the code or docs, I encourage you to make a modification of my test case that illustrates it.

Re: [cgiapp] Re: header_props after header_type (was: cgi_minimal compatible?)
From: Mark Stosberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe your finding is incorrect. I think you are correct. Now I believe that I overlayed my header_props by setting one property (a cookie) and then setting it again with the redirection URL. (I thought that setting the header-type to redirect did it. But, it looks like it was setting the redirection URL that caused the cookie to be lost). I thought the header_props values could be set incrementally. It looks like they have to be set all at once? And that's probably a function of CGI.pm. (I'm actually using CGI::Simple).

I would call that a bug or missing feature in CGI::App. Someone else has already identified it and submitted a patch to the maintainer. We'll hope it appears in a new release soon-- I think the behavior you expected is the more intuitive one. If you are already sub-classing CGI::App, you could add a header_props routine to your class that behaves how you expect.
