I am running apache 2.2.4 on Red Hat. I need to set 2 cookies, then redirect
the request. The redirect is working, but the cookies are not being set. In
order to debug this, I wrote a simple Perl CGI that sets 2 cookies, then
redirects to another Perl CGI on the same server which reads all cookies.
Here is the CGI that sets the cookies and performs the redirect (note: domain
name changed to protect the innocent)
my $query = new CGI;
my $cookie1 = cookie( -name => 'ID',
-value => "11498",
-domain => "xxx.com",
-path => '/');
my $cookie2 = cookie( -name => 'User',
-value => "rec",
-domain => "xxx.com",
-path => '/');
$request_uri="http://c295.xxx.com/cgi-bin/ReadCookies";;
print $query->header(-cookie=> [$cookie1, $cookie2]);
print "<HTML><HEADER><META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0;URL=$request_uri'>";
The redirect occurs and this CGI reads all cookies, but the 2 cookies set
above are never found:
open(LOG, ">/tmp/logfile");
%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
foreach $c (keys(%cookies)) {
print LOG "$cookies{$c}\n";
}
print LOG "Cookies printed\n";
close LOG;
