1. Problem Description:
This issue occurs only when using auth and internal_redirects.
User request page a.html
some task is done and redirects to b.html
the redirect page (b.html) will not contain $r->user unless
get_basic_auth_pw is checked first
odd (not sure why)... here's how I had it and what I did to fix
it.
OLD WAY: [broken]
$obj->{USER_ID} = $r->user;
$obj->{USER_PASS} = $I->get_basic_auth_pw;
NEW WAY: [fixed]
$obj->{USER_PASS} = $r->get_basic_auth_pw;
$obj->{USER_ID} = $r->user;
So anyway, the only way I figured this out is because I put debugging
on just about every var through the app, and I notice that my USER_ID
one was the only one that changed (from the user who was on to undef).
well, I decided to warn out $r->user later on ... and after moving it
closer and closer to where I put it in my object, I noticed that it's
not assigned 'til immediately after get_basic_auth_pw.
Meaning: The problem is that $r->user will not return the proper user id
in an internal_redirect without first calling get_basic_auth_pw (which
i'm guessing not too many do)...
Hope this helps, any chance on a fix for this?
