Hi,
As I (with Rüdigers help :-) ) found out, there is already a bug report
to my problem:
#41897 describes the problem that the case-sensitivity of the
"stickysession"-Parameter
does not comply to the Java Servlet Spec (Cookie: "JSESSIONID", url
based session
management ";jsessionid").
To solve this problem in a backward compatible way, I'd like to suggest
the following
solution before writing a patch:
Add two parameters "stickysessionpath" and "stickysessioncookie".
"stickysessionpath" sets the session name for URL based session
management and might
be something like ";jsessionid". "stickysessioncookie" sets the session
name for Cookie based
session management.
"stickysession" should set the session name for both parameters.
Pro:
- It does solve the problem
- One can explicitly choose to use *only* one of the two algorithms.
- Currently, only the sequence "<session name>=" is searched. However,
in Java
environments, a ";jsessionid=" would be more precise...
An alternative would be to have an option to search the session name
case-insensitive.
Could I get "votes" if my approach / an according patch is acceptable?
Best regards,
Georg
