I have a login system based on Apache::AuthCookie.
The handler for a location is set like this:
AuthType Thermeon::AuthHandler
AuthName Thermeon
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Thermeon::AuthHandler->login
login isn't defined in Thermeon::AuthHandler - so the call passes up the ISA
to Apache::AuthCookie->login, as expected.
login does some funky stuff, calling auth subroutines ... eventually it
will, under some circumstances, do this:
return $auth_type->login_form;
This might be entirely familiar to everyone - but I thought I'd explain what
I understand is going on so that if you've never seen it before you don't
have to look it up,
or if I've got it wrong you can correct me :D
Now - my system isn't done yet.
It might still want to do some other stuff - under other circumstances.
Most of it's stuff is ok - but I get problems when I want to do an internal
redirect to another page.
I use this subroutine:
sub let_through {
my ($self, $r, $p) = @_;
$r->set_handlers( PerlAuthzHandler => [\&OK] );
$r->set_handlers( PerlAuthenHandler => [\&OK] );
$p && $r->internal_redirect( $p );
return OK;
}
And under some circumstances might call:
return $self->let_through( $r, $login_page );
for instance.
When this happen I find that the page shows ( $login_page ), but the browser
continues to show loading.
I check the error log and find:
message type 0x50 arrived from server while idle
If I request the $login_page directly through it's url - it works fine, no
error message and no browser continued loading.
The page that's being loaded does contain an iframe.
The iframe is also subject to the same auth handler - but a line catches it
with an exception and calls $self->let_through( $r ).
The error meass age ( message type 0x50 arrived from server while idle )
shows in the error log after this - if that helps.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
