Hello list,
I've problems to set session expiry time per user.
My goal is to have a default expiry time of until you quit the
browser unless the user logs in and select a checkbox to have the
site remember her (i.e. set expiry time to 1 year).
I use the following plugins for session management :
Session Session::State::Cookie Session::Store::DBI
I've looked at the docs and I've only found a way to set expiry
time in MyApp.pm, and even with this I don't know how to set it for
until you quit the brower. If I put 0 the session expires immediately.
To set the longer expiry time, I try:
$c-config-{session}{expires} = 31536000 if
$c-req-param('remember_me');
I think that will make the cookie expire on the 1st January 1971. Try
+31536000.
I have a feeling that an undef expiry will result in a session cookie,
based on nothing more than guesswork and superstition.

Hello Matt,

Looking at the sessions table, the value is correct, with or without
the '+'. The problem seems to come from the line :
$c-config-{session}{expires} = 31536000 if
$c-req-param('remember_me');
that works only once. When I request another page on the site, the
param 'remember_me' is not set so the sessions falls back to 1 hour (tha
value I've put by default).
I have a feeling that an undef expiry will result in a session cookie,
based on nothing more than guesswork and superstition.
Halas, 'undef' is like '0', the session expires immediately :-(
Regards,

Ah, I missed the fact that you were accessing the cookies via a session
plugin, I thought you were setting them directly.
Would it be horribly perverse to store the expiry interval time (or the
remember_me bool) in the session?
$c-config-{session}{expires} = 31536000 if $c-session-{remember_me};
I have a feeling that an undef expiry will result in a session

Catatlyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie says:
cookie_expires
Number of seconds from now you want to elapse before cookie will
expire. Set to 0 to create a session cookie, ie one which
will die
when the user’s browser is shut down.

There's a plugin that is designed for that:
http://search.cpan.org/~nuffin/Catalyst-Plugin-Session-DynamicExpiry-0.02/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Session/DynamicExpiry.pm
I'm not using it, but I looked at it in detail one day and had some
problems. I think I posted a patch. Yes, December 5th with the
subject Patch for Catalyst::Plugin::Session::DynamicExpiry
$c-config-{session}{expires} = 31536000 if $c-req-param('remember_me');
That's per process.

isn't working for me using cookies. The patch was never applied so I
go with this:
sub auto : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
if ( $c-user_exists ) {
$c-config-{session}-{expires} =
$c-session-{per_user_expiry}
|| $c-config-{session}-{expires};
$c-session_expires(1);
return 1;
}
}
set $c-session-{per_user_expiry} if you want a different expiry.
$c-session_expires(1) does all the stuff like setting cookies etc.

You posted a patch against a version 0.03. On CPAN the version is 0.02.
I googled to find the SVN but with no luck. Can you tell me where it is
please?
I've also found a Catalyst::Plugin::Session::DynamicExpiry::Cookie (not
on CPAN) that does the job.
I've spent a lot of time on it because Firefox *keeps session cookies*
when you close all tabs and ask it to restore session on
reopen.. Maybe it's FF that does this, maybe it's an extension,
I don't know. The fact is that I've had to close the FF tab before the
FF window in order to dismiss the cookie...
I still have problems with the cookie TTL and the session TTL. With the
module cited above, it does not seem to take into account my setting:
$c-session_time_to_live(31536000) if $c-req-param('rme');
and instead use the default session TTL (2 hours, I see that in my
`sessions` table).
Maybe I'm mixing wrongly session TTL and cookie TTL but I thought
$c-session_time_to_live(x) refered to session, not cookie. However it
seems to refer to cookie.
Anyway, with setting session TTL to 1 year, it now works as I want
(maybe not as it should?).
Thanks a lot to you all!
PS : After some thinking I believe I start to understant it all ;-) but
it's very confusing...
