Apologies if this is well-known - a generalized search failed to explain the behaviour I'm seeing.
Using: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6c mod_perl/1.26 I'm using a perl handler in which I create a session and bind it to a cookie if a session doesn't already exist, fetch some results from a database, put the results in the session, then redirect to another page that is responsible for pulling the results out of the session and producing the html output. As a test case, I do exactly this: $r->header_out("Set-Cookie" => 'foo1=bar1'); $r->header_out("Location" => $redir); return REDIRECT; I use curl to test with - the result does not contain the Set-Cookie header. Is it expected behaviour that redirection should blow away Set-Cookie headers, and I just have to find a different way to do this? I'm pretty sure this isn't a caching issue since I'm using curl to initiate the test. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance for any help- //Thomas Thomas K.
