Hello, I'm trying two simple functions i.e. to set a cookie and retrieve it. I'm using Apache2, mod_perl2 & libapreq2-2.05 to do this.
I read in the libapreq2 mail archives that using APR::* is recommended over the Apache2::Cookie modules and that there was debate over dumping the Apache2::* modules but were left behind only for backward compatibilities. Please check this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111695063000003&r=1&w=2 So after reading the above thread and this one: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111694486900009&r=1&w=2 i'm in total confusion as to which is the right way to go about accomplishing 2 seemingly simple tasks of setting and retrieving cookies. I've read the documentation for APR::Request::Cookie and i'm unable to figure out how to send the cookie after creating one. So, i've basically got this: use APR::Request::Cookie; my $cookie = APR::Request::Cookie->new($req, name => "foo", value => "bar", domain => "whatever.com"); Now from here how do i bake the cookie or send it? using $r->headers_out... ? Also $req needs to be an object of type APR::Pool and in the documentation for APR::Pool it is suggested that it is good to use a request pool for these short scoped requests. So would $req be created like this ? $req = APR::Request::Apache2->handle($r) It's quite obvious that i'm pretty confused at this point with the new naming convention, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Another question i have is this - I went through the code for APR::Request::Cookie and I don't see method definitions for most of the methods/subs listed in the documentation, even in the base class i.e. APR::Request. Are these methods implemented as functions in C code that is then dynamically linked and bootstrapped through the dynaLoader module? Thanks, Gokul P.
