I have an Apache module in which I am trying to overwrite the value of a
cookie. I have tried different methods of the APR::Table without success.
Here are the approaches that I have tried:
[1] $r->headers_out->set("Set-Cookie", $cookie);
Here, $cookie has the name=value pair with the name of the cookie that needs to
be overwritten. The outcome is 2 cookies with the same name.
[2] $cookie = $r->headers_in->{Cookie};
<search-and-replace the cookie value in $cookie>
$r->headers_out->{Cookie}=$cookie;
Does not do anything to the existing cookie ... does not even add a new cookie.
[3] $cookie = $r->headers_in->{Cookie};
@cookies = split(/;/,$cookie);
$r->headers_out->clear();
< add cookies one-by-one replacing the value of the cookie in question using
$r->headers_out->set("Set-Cookie", $cookie); >
The web application does not work ... seems like clearing the header creates
problems.
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Ritu
