Concerning the session id, I have added the following line to my
Embperl configuration:
# -- Log all HTTP Headers sent by the browser
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 262144
In the logs I then got my Embperl cookie:
[23974]HDR: Cookie=EMBPERL_UID=fc60d241d8eabde8a19e530e91020eb9
The Postgres 'sessions' DB gives me one row (id, and MIME
Base64 encode chars) as answer to the following request:
SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = 'fc60d241d8eabde8a19e530e91020eb9';
and the 'sessions' table is defined as specified by Apache::Session docs
(the following shows what's in my DB, ie.: used 'pg_dump -s -t sessions
..'):
CREATE TABLE sessions (
id character(32) NOT NULL,
a_session TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
So cookies and session management are working fine.
The only thing that was kind of weird to me was this "second level hash"
trick: is there any documentation explaining it, or making people aware
of it?
Really I mean.. when I came with the solution of placing at the beginning
of my Embperl pages something like [- $udat{blah} = "blah" -] (or something
maybe more elegant like [- $udat{some} ||= {} -] or [- $udat{TIME} = time
-])
and then the hole thing worked, then I just thaught, well.. go to bed .. you
must be too tired! ;-)
Thanks,
Stéphane

Should so.

yes

Do you _exactly_ the same session id in the database, that you see in the
Embperl log ? (same length!)

That's a simple Perl issue and because of the way Apache::Session ties to
the hash
I would use the following, also both should work
[- $udat{some} ||= {} -]
[- $udat{some}{thing} = "1" -]
How is your id field in Postgres defined ?
