Hi, I have a test system that has Apache/2.0.40 and mod_perl 1.99.07-5 on it. Everything works fine -- as far as I understand Apache. This server is paired with another test server that proxies most requests back, and the other server is running Apache/2.2.2 and mod_perl (I believe it's 2.0.2-6.1, but I can't check right now).
I'm using Apache::AuthCookie to do authentication on the first server, and it works fine. I'm using Apache2::AuthCookie on the second server, and it's failing, apparently (I'm fairly sure) because the cookie created on the Apache 2.2 server can't be digested on the Apache 2.0 server. The LOGIN on the second server is *not* proxied, but handled locally (although it does talk to a database on the first server); subsequent requests *are* proxied to the first server, with the result that I'm correctly logged in and logged right back out again. I could upgrade the first server, but even better (that is, more convenient) than that would be to have both Apache::AuthCookie and Apache2::AuthCookie, and both mod_perl versions installed. That way, I could use different mod_perl modules for different installations (it's a test system so it typically has half a dozen installations on it). Is this a mad idea, or could it work? I look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks! -- Alex Beamish Toronto, Ontario aka talexb
