Hi, I have a C++ Apache filter module for HTML output filtering. I'm seeing a certain behavior when using my filter module after setting cookies and would want to know if thats expected.
I have a html page index.html, this page has a hyperlink called "Click here" and when I click on this link, a second page index2.html should be launched. My filter applies some business logic while filtering html files. I have a cookie.html file that has Javascript to set a cookie (using document.cookie) in the browser. I need to do the following: 1. Enable my filter using LoadModule directive and start the server 2. Set a cookie with name=cookieName, value=cookieValue in the browser using the cookie.html 3. Launch index.html, and then click on "Click here". When this call goes to the filter module, I have to apply some business logic before index2.html is rendered on browser. But when I set the cookie in step2 above, I see that the filter module is not called because a server call is not made, and the browser opens the cached index2.html which does not have my business logic applied. And, if I dont set the cookie mentioned in step2 above, a server call is made when I click on "Click here" link. How can I ensure that, when I try to launch a html page from a hyperlink, the call goes to the filter module even when I set a browser cookie. My apologies if I'm asking something fundamental, I'm new to how cookies work with web-servers, any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
