Apache trouble reading in large cookie contents
I'm having trouble when a browser sends a fair sized amount of data to Apache as cookies - say around 8k. I know that most clients will not allow cookies greater than 4k per cookie (and often no more than 20 per hostname), and as such have broken the cookie being sent out to be sent in smaller chunks, with names such as 'Cookie0', 'Cookie1', 'Cookie2', etc., which I would later concatenate back together to obtain the full data that I had originally sent out. However, when the browser sends data back to Apache, it sends all the cookies on the same header line (Cookie: Cookie0=...; Cookie1=...; Cookie2=...) and so on. Apache then complains (and fails the request) with a message of the sort: [date] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] request failed: error reading the headers and spits out an error screen to the user with essentially the same message, but including the "Cookie:" line I assume this is due to a compile time directive to Apache specifying the maximum size of a header line. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so, could you point me in the right direction? Sorry if this seems to be a bit more of an Apache question than mod_perl. Thanks - Jody Biggs
RE: ORA conference
and once more, you guys probably don't know me, but... I remember there were a couple places out near the end of the pier - can't remember any names though... Place at the very end had a separate bar area, though it was really mainly a restaurant - the one I recall not as far down looked like it was a true bar/pub kind of place... I should be getting in around 8PM with three others from my company - Jody Biggs -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 11:46 AM To: Ahrendt, Robert Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Vivek Khera; Jeffrey W.

RE: Weird problem with redirect
Unless you specify an absolute URL for the Location header, Apache will do an internal redirect (i.e., it won't send a redirect to the browser, it will just recognize that you're trying to redirect them, and just transfer the request to the new page). so do: print "$mycookie\n"; print "Location: http://www.yourhost.com/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN\n \n" by the way - when doing a 302 redirect, it is not necessary to do a Content-type header. - Jody Biggs -Original Message- From: Vijay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 3:27 PM To: Gerald Richter; Modperl Mailing List Subject: Re: Wierd problem with redirect Repost of my earlier message.

However, I have a problem still left out. The redirection is loading the redirected page properly. But, it still shows the URL as the same from where it is redirected. As below: My form calls the script "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". In visitorinfo,.cgi, I have following steps print "Content-type: text/html\n"; print "$mycookie\n"; print "Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN\n\n"; exit; It really goes to the page mailhdr with appropriate details. But the address in the browser is still "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". This gives a problem. If the user reloads the page, it will again try to do what I am doing in this, which I don't want to happen. How do I make the address (URL) to change according to the page it is showing.
