I'm not sure that it's worth porting that module. The cache locking is
broken, the file handling looks dodgy, and in general it has some odd
ideas about configuration and string handling.
If all you need to do is replicate some ns_session Tcl commands so
your existing code works then the easiest way would be to create a
work-alike using the existing naviserver Tcl commands:
* cookie handling: naviserver has this built in:
http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_cookie.html
* caching: also now built in:
http://naviserver.sourceforge.net/n/naviserver/files/ns_cache.html
* persisting the session: just use nsdbi, if you're already using
it. If you really want
to use the file system, use ns_hashpath in nsd/pathname.c to
prevent enormous
directories from bogging down the server.
* ns_rand: already exposed.
It will be more robust than than the C nssession module, and almost
certainly faster too.
If you want to create something fancier as a C module, I'd be
interested in helping.
