[ ANNOUNCE ] Apache::SessionManager-0.06
Dear All I've finally got a tar ball onto sourceforge (but that's another [OT] story ;-) Announcing Apache::SessionManager. For those that do not know this is a (near) Transparent Session Manager module - it will get (and optionally set) a Session ID from a client request. It does no more that this with the ID - authenticating it / checking validity is up to you. It is supposed to compliment Apache::Session, which can be used as the backbend session store. It has some perldoc in the Apache::SessionManager.pm file. There is an example startup.pl in the example dir. of the tar ball. It is quite configurable in that you can change its behaviour to taste - see the perldoc / source. It works in my development environment. It is BETA and the API may change. Use it at your own risk! The usual warranty applies - in that if it breaks please send any bits to /dev/null, and any patches / bug fixes to me! Please send me any feedback directly. A BIG thank you to all that have help / sent me feedback / ideas, and also to Doug for mod_perl and the Apache and perl authors. Oh, Find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sessionmanager/ Regards Greg Cope

Don't forget to keep track of args on redirects: GET /a5cc39a8c110566e41b5b8efafc2a055/index.html/abc/123?query=abc http/1.0 Cookie: SESSION=cb74254c1de96365e91fa6d6d481f952 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 18:28:54 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 Location: /index.html/abc/123=== lost the args here. And don't forget about the use of DirectoryIndex: GET /index.html http/1.0 HTTP/1.1 302 Found <<== here's your redirect Now this gets through: GET / http/1.0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK I'm also unclear about excluding some files with $NON_MATCH. Perhaps I didn't set it up correctly. If the session is in the URL, and a browser uses relative links it will try to use that session for all links. So if $NON_MATCH is used to ignore .gif, for example, I see this: File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/f0d960ddbbe1e82ca55ed2372447751e/apache_pb.gif You might consider moving some of your code into other handlers later in the request and just let the transhandler extract out the session id. That way you can use and friends to configure what requires a session and what doesn't, and you can use PerlSetVars to control behavior section-by-section in httpd.conf. Hope some of this helps.
