RE: [Catalyst] Do not save session under certain conditions

2012-05-22 Thread Duncan Garland 
Possibly, I'll have a chat with a couple of people.

However, it looked from the documentation as though what I proposed was 
possible. It looked like something could be put to the end action to do 
something with finalise_session. I wondered if anybody knew exactly what had to 
be done.

can you get the monitor to initiate a session and re-use it?

That way, you can monitor other portions of the site and not just a no-op URL.

   Don't save the session.
 }
  
 What's the best way to do this?
  
 Thanks

[Catalyst] Do not save session under certain conditions

2012-05-21 Thread Duncan Garland 
Hi,

We've got some monitoring software installed which is accessing the home page 
of my catalyst app every couple of seconds and flooding the sessions table.

I can recognise the monitor based on the user agent, so I'd like to stop it 
saving the session. Something like:

if ($c-request-user_agent =~ m/HTTP-Monitor/ ) {
  Don't save the session.
}

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks
