That's probably because I copied the example verbatim. I
still seem to be having problems. I've re-written my
handler using the Apache Request object and Apache::Cookie
and still it doesn't seem to work. Basically, what I'm trying
to accomplish is the following:
1.) Visitor comes to site
2.) Handler checks for presence of a sessionID cookie.
3a) If cookie DOESN'T exist, then it creates a cookie and sends it.
3b) ...otherwise, do nothing.
My problem is that it seems when I go to retrieve the cookie
in the Fixup phase, that the cookie isn't available and it's
set each time. Here's my handler, tested in both IE and
Netscape:
-----
package TradiantNet::Cookie;
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(handler);
use strict;
use Tradiant::Utilities;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
# Initialize CGI object
my $query = init_cgi();
# If the user doesn't have a cookie, let's send them one
unless (defined($temp)) {
# Have Apache generate a unique ID.
my $uniqueID = $r->subprocess_env->{'UNIQUE_ID'};
# Create the cookie
my $cookie = $query->cookie( -name => 'sessionID',
-value => $uniqueID,
-expires=> '+3y',
-path => '/',
-domain => '.tradiant.com');
# Send them the cookie
print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
}
}
1;
-----
Is there an easier way to accomplish this? I seem to recall
that Apache has a simplfied way of setting a cookie upon the
initial request if one wasn't yet set, but I can't find anything
in the docs.
