You can certainly do that using a connection input filter. But I'd say that is much too complicated. Apache processes requests in several phases, see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#HTTP_Request_Cycle_Phases mod_proxy acts in the response phase. So you can use any of the preceeding phases to modify the cookie, which is a HTTP header. So you have to modify $r->headers_in->{Cookie}. I think a PerlFixupHandler would be best for you. Another way to accomplish the same may be a combination of mod_headers + mod_rewrite. With mod_rewrite you can set environment variables. With mod_headers you can modify input and output headers and incorporate the content of environment variables. But if you plan to use mod_perl anyway then use it here too. > Iam using Apache 2.0.52, mod_perl 1.99, perl 5.8.5, Redhat AS Server 4. Don't do that! This version of mod_perl is beta and is quite old, I think ~3 years. Further, the API has changed in the late beta phase of mp2, see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html. So when you'll update your server later you'll have to rewrite you programs. Torsten
