[Catalyst] Session Wipeout
Our catalyst app is having a problem with sessions. We have a calendar that is called via ajax and sometimes takes 45 seconds to load (optimizing this is in the works). The problem is if you navigate away from that page and start clicking around, the session is being updated just fine until that ajax call finishes. Then the session is over-written and all the previous session data is wiped out. Is there a way I can have that ajax call not write the session data? I'm using: Session Session::State::Cookie Session::State::URI Session::Store::DBIC Thanks in advance!

RE: [Catalyst] Invalid session ids being generated
The problem is I was not able to duplicate this on our development or test servers. Only on production and unfortunately we don't have time right now to set up a duplicate site on production for debugging this issue. The code is the same, the only differences are we use a load balancer with 3 web servers and use mysql replication. If we can get caught up I may spend some more time on it.

RE: [Catalyst] Invalid session ids being generated
Ok, I think I have enough information to explain the problem better. When a request is made to the app a session id is created in the db but there is no session data and the expires field is null. The cookie is set with that session id. When you make a subsequent request, the error below is logged and the first session id is deleted automatically. A new session id is created and this time session data is populated as well as expires. A new cookie is set with the good session id and all is well. I am going to dig into why the first session created is invalid, but I'm rather new to Catalyst and I can use any suggestions you can offer. Thanks!

[Catalyst] Sessions and Cookies
I have a catalyst app that uses Catalyst::Plugin::Session, Session::State::Cookie, Session::State::URI, and Session::Store::DBIC to handle sessions. I didn't write the app but I'm trying to change it's behavior for new sessions. Currently when a request is made, the app looks for a cookie with a valid session. If one is NOT found it adds the newly created session id to the URL, which is visible in the browser. All subsequent requests made will not have the session id in the URL because the cookie was retrieved. My question is, how can I not show the session id in the URL for the first request? I don't want to use javascript to redirect once the cookie is first set because a POST request would screw up some other stuff we have going on. I would like to send just the headers to set the cookie and somehow check to see if it was set properly (cookies not blocked) and then just send the response without the session id in the URL. Looking for any advise on the best way to do this. I greatly appreciate it.

[Catalyst] Environment Variables
Hello all. First time posting here. :-)
I'm trying to get at $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} from my catalyst app but it
doesn't seem to be there. In fact the only keys that exist in %ENV are
CATALYST_ENGINE and PERL5LIB. Are the others being wiped out somehow?
Not sure if this is normal Catalyst behavior. Thanks!

That info is in $c-request-referer _when_ it's present. Generally
you want to avoid the ENV stuff, though I believe there is a plugin
to get at it if you really need some part of it not already exposed.
