We have a section of our website that is protected by Basic username/password authentication. I've been asked to setup a system where, once successfully authenticated, users are taken to a legal agreement page which they are asked to accept before they can continue to the page they requested.
I'm using mod_perl 2.0.3 to implement this. The basic system now works. I have a PerlAccessHandler installed for the protected portion of the site, which checks for the presence of an "ACCEPT_LA" cookie. If the cookie is not set, the user is redirected to a form with the agreement and "I Agree" / "I Do Not Agree" buttons. If they agree, the ACCEPT_LA cookie is set and they are redirected to the page they originally requested. The only problem right now is that when visiting a URL in the protected part of the site, the user *first* gets taken to the legal agreement, and if they accept it, they are *then* asked to login. The desired behavior is that the user first gets the Basic AuthType username/password dialog, and if they successfully login, then they get taken to the agreement page. How can I change the ordering of the handlers to achieve this? I checked the documentation and it seems incomplete, indicating that Hook Ordering is "not working." [1] Is that the end of the story? Thanks. -David [1] http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/intro.html#Hook_Ordering__Position_ -- David Eisner http://cradle.brokenglass.com
