Hi, If a user sends a request that requires a login, I'd like to persist their data until they've successfully logged-in, and continue without them having to re-enter the original data.
Currently, anywhere that requires a login has the following method: sub auto : Private { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $self->require_login($c); $c->check_any_user_role(qw( editor admin )); } The require_login method in my BaseController.pm returns true if logged-in, and does detach('/auth/login') if they're not. The require_login method is an ideal place to grab the Request data, freeze it with Storable, encrypt_hex it with Crypt::CBC, and stick it in the stash. Then, the login action can put that frozen request into a hidden form field. I'd also need to store the $c->action->private_path() so I can detach to the correct place after login. The part I'm unsure of is how much of the $c->request data to store, and how to restore it again after a successful login. Initially I only need to deal with basic post key/value params, however I do anticipate needing to deal with file uploads in the future. Has anyone dealt with this scenario already, or have any advice on how to restore a different Request?
