Hi again,
about the missing sessionid:
I don't know much about the internals of Catalyst::Plugin::Session, but
I guess that the session is a lazy attribute, and only created if used.
This means: unless you put something in the session, you will not have
one, and therefore have no session-id.
This is very handy, because the overhead related to creating and
restoring a session is only executed if the session is really needed.
If your app has a session-less interface without authentication, and
extra functionality for authenticated users, the session will only be
created for authenticated users.
If you touch your session object before fetching the session-id, it will
work:
$c->session;
$c->res->body("SESSIONID " . $c->sessionid);
As soon as you implemented authentication, the session will be used and
the session-id will be set.
By the way, what do you need the session-id for? Catalyst handles
sessions in a transparent way. In most cases, you don't need to access
the session-id in your code. And if it is only for debugging: The
session plugin writes the session-id to $c->log when a session is
created or restored. This means: the code showed above will result in
the session-id being printed twice :)
