Hi Folks
I have a setup using CGI::App which starts like this in the HTML:
<frame name="left" src="http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/left.cgi";>
<frame name="right" src="http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/right.cgi";>
The frames have worked out superbly, despite the fact I normally
abstain from such practices... If a solution to the problem
below requires abandoning frames, then so be it, but I won't
abandon them lightly.
The 2 scripts are the same, just differing in the PARAMS:
My::Application -> new(PARAMS => {target => 'left'}) -> run();
My::Application -> new(PARAMS => {target => 'right'}) -> run();
The problem is that each script creates its own CGI::Session session,
so that when a user operating in the right frame sets options,
the session in the left frame is unaware of the changed options.
How do I let the left session become aware of the right session,
given the constaints:
o The code must run identically under Linux and Windows, so I'm
reluctant to adopt a solution requiring fork;
o The code is being rolled out to 13,000 desktops, which influences
how many people could theoretically start up the scripts at
more-or-less the same time. See below for a discussion of client IP
addresses, which would otherwise be pressed in to use here.
The reason IP addresses may not be enough to distinguish clients,
is that the last time I tested IP addresses via Apache's log (in
a different environment), all requests were logged with the (same)
router's IP address, rather than the client's IP address.
