That's a bogus code. Obviously you are running without warnings
mode on. Add:
use warnings;
and you will see why it is bogus. Perhaps your cookie was always
valid so you

The point is, it shouldn't work. You should not be getting a hash.
What should work is this:
my $session = defined $cookies-{'session'} ?
$cookies-{'session'}-value : undef;
The larger issue is fixing the Apache::Cookie docs. I would attempt to
patch it if I understood what it's doing. Does anyone know what the API
is returning when you call fetch()? An Apache::Table? Some other kind
of object? It looks pretty bizarre to me, and it certainly isn't doing

RE: Apache::Cookie
Okay, I'm obviously no expert but I see a problem ... I think? :
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
my $ref_cookie = ref $cookie;
returns 'HASH'
but
my $session = $cookies-{'session'}-value;
my $type = ref @session;
doesn't return anything, '' or (undef?). strange?
However:
my @session = $cookies-{'session'}-value;
returns the (almost) desired result as pairs and as they were originally
inserted from the standard CGI cookie. so i thought it was acceptable to
convert to a hash, knowing the list values are in pairs:
my %hash = $cookies-{'session'}-value;
will probably throw a warning or even an error without the defined
statement, but it gets past the immediate issue.

Re: Has Apache::Cookie been ported to mod_perl-2 yet?
No it hasn't. Need to use CGI::Cookie for the time being. Apache::Cookie and Apache::Request I believe are both either provided by or dependent on libapreq, which is still a work in progress for apache2/mod_perl2. That's the biggest reason I'm still using Apache 1.3.x now.

Eric Sammer wrote:
What is weird is that the Apache::Cookie object DOES exist, it's just

I've had problems with scripts and mod_perl code before where I
inadvertently create
keys in a hash when I'm testing to see if they exist. I now always use
something
Like:
if((exists($cookie-{user_id})) (defined($cookie-{user_id})))
Just doing if(defined .. Checks to see if the value of the key is
defined. If the
key did not exist previously it may be created by this process. The key
can exist but
hold an undefined value.
The problem is that the logout handler (which expires the user_id
cookie) kills the
cookie and redirects to / ok, but when the GroupAccess handler checks
if the cookie
exists (during the / request), $cookies-{user_id}* is defined, but
the value seems to
be an empty string ala .
Is this an internal redirect, or a redirect sent from the browser ? If
it's internal then
the cookie will still exist unless you deleted the key yourself, and if
you run the request
As a sub-request it can pick up the submitted cookie again even if you
have deleted the key
on your parent request object.
If it's coming back from the browser are you sure that the browser isn't
sending you an empty
Cookie? Maybe some users have broken browsers ?
You might also want to check hoe the cookie gets expired. What is the
expiry date that is set
on the Set-cookie: header that goes back to the client, and what is the
date on that machine?
Could you make do with per-session cookies (which have no expory date,
but are only valid for
the duration of that browser session) ?
Although it's helpful to get to the bottom of any issue, you might be
more at peace if you
just checked to see if the value of the cookie was valid. After all,
who's to say that the
cookie they're sending you is actually the same as the one you sent them
in the first place ;)

The key can exist but hold an undefined value. again, in this case, the key is an Apache::Cookie object which couldn't accidentally be created as a simple type like a string key can. Is this an internal redirect, or a redirect sent from the browser ? the logout handler expires the cookie, sets the Location header, and returns REDIRECT. in other words, it's not internal nor a subrequest (unless a returned REDIRECT with a Location header is still considered a subrequest - that would be a surprise to me). If it's internal then the cookie will still exist unless you deleted the key yourself, and if you run the request As a sub-request it can pick up the submitted cookie again even if you have deleted the key on your parent request object. yea... unfortunately, that's not the case here... the browser regains control enough to handle the Set-Cookie (again, unless my perl/mod_perl/cgi books are all out of date)... ;) If it's coming back from the browser are you sure that the browser isn't sending you an empty Cookie? the cookie is a real cookie (in the headers) with the absence of the value. specifically, the return value of the Apache::Cookie-value() method. Maybe some users have broken browsers ? with the current state of things, i'm sure that's part of it. :) that said, there's always a limited set of options on that front. most of my (personal) testing is with mozilla on linux built from source (gentoo portage, actually) but similar behavior is seen on my mac os x boxes. You might also want to check hoe the cookie gets expired. What is the expiry date that is set on the Set-cookie: header that goes back to the client, and what is the date on that machine? the expire *i'm* specifying is just a relative '-1D' to cause the browser to drop it. if there's a better way, i'm certainly open to suggestions. Could you make do with per-session cookies (which have no expory date, but are only valid for the duration of that browser session) ? actually, all of these cookies are per-session which is why this isn't a hey, the building is on fire! sort of problem. the logout is one of those superfulous things that might be needed should the non-tech staff force us to add the dreaded save my username/password feature to the site. either way, i'd rather try and get the problem out of the way prior to such escalation. Although it's helpful to get to the bottom of any issue, you might be more at peace if you just checked to see if the value of the cookie was valid. yea... i suppose that's an option (and it *was* like that). i just get scared when something isn't working exactly as i understand it to be. it's that age old developer mantra of unpredictable working code is worse than predictable broken code. After all, who's to say that the cookie they're sending you is actually the same as the one you sent them in the first place ;) damn browsers... damn cookies. i'm still waiting (and will be for a long time to come) for two things: working stateful web development and flying cars... something tells me the latter is a more attainable goal. ;) (Just for the record I don't actually use Apache::Cookie myself I look in and set the headers) i used to do that all the time too. i've always felt that abstraction prevents errors in the long run (or at least makes them easier to find). being wrong sucks. thanks for the response... i'll give some of these ideas a shot (again, where applicable). -- Eric Sammer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxstep.org
Re: Apache::Cookie - weird values returned...
Eric Sammer wrote: the expire *i'm* specifying is just a relative '-1D' to cause the browser to drop it. if there's a better way, i'm certainly open to suggestions. The HTTP headers do not support relative dates as far as I know. Thus when you specify a relative date the code must claculate the expiry date for you and send it back to the browser. If a user has their date and time set such that the cookie is still valid they will continue to return it. You might want to consider invalidating the cookie by setting the content to an empty value as well as setting the expiry date. This would then mean that even if they still think it's valid they have no value, only an empty string (which, AFAIK, most browsers will treat as an invalid cookie). You might be more comfortable making the expiry more than a day old. I logged onto a machine the other day and started getting browser messages that my server's security certificate had expired or was not yet valid. It turned out that the RTC on the machine was set to 1980. Maybe the user just wanted to relive the 80's ;) Rob Lambden
Apache::Cookie - weird values returned...
All:
I've got a strange Apache::Cookie issue that seems to have recently
snuck up on me, although I've seen similar behavior in the past.
I have a PerlAccessHandler called GroupAccess that handles all access to
a site**. If there's a user_id cookie, it pulls urls allowed to that
user from a db, otherwise, an anonymous set of urls that are allowed -
certainly not rocket science. The problem is that the logout handler
(which expires the user_id cookie) kills the cookie and redirects to /
ok, but when the GroupAccess handler checks if the cookie exists (during
the / request), $cookies-{user_id}* is defined, but the value seems to
be an empty string ala . This really makes things difficult. What is
weird is that the Apache::Cookie object DOES exist, it's just the value
that's all wacked out or just plain missing. Could it be bug in
Apache::Cookie that only shows up during internal redirects (and when
I'm not looking)? This problem is incredibly difficult to reproduce as
it only happens about 1 out of ever 30 - 40 times... That said, when it
does happen, users complain and that's not cool at all.
* $cookies is a hash ref with cookie names as keys and Apache::Cookie
objects as values.

* Michael McLagan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-09-21 11:45]: There is a bug in Apache::Cookie. It doesn't handle a cookie with zero bytes in it! This is because Apache::Cookie is implemented in C, and C uses NULL as the end of string terminator. This is probably something that needs to be done in Perl, since I doubt there's a way to check for embedded NULLs in a string in C...

BUG: Apache::Cookie v1.0
Hello,
There is a bug in Apache::Cookie. It doesn't handle a cookie with zero
bytes in it!
$value = ABCD . chr(0) . EFGH;
$cookie = Apache::Cookie-new($request, -name= 'oatmeal', -value= $value,
-domain=$ENV{'SERVER_NAME'}, -path=/);
print $cookie-as_string;
The output looks like:
oatmeal=ABCD; domain=my.web.server.com; path=/; expires=0
Where did the rest of my cookie go?!
Should I not have gotten:
oatmeal=ABCD%00EFGH; domain=my.web.server.com; path=/; expires=0

[SOLVED] Re: Redhat 7.2 glibc update causes problems with Apache::Cookie?
FYI, I finally got my problems with Apache::Cookie (part of libapreq) solved. Much thanks to Stas for advice on solving this problem. Here's what I found: 1) Installing the glibc 2.2.4-24 updates borked the RPM installed perl 5.6.1. Building 5.6.1 from source fixed this problem. 2) libapreq 1.0 installs the libapreq.* files into /usr/local/lib. I ended up adding the path to ld.conf. Not sure if this was necessary.

Apache::Cookie-expires under Windows
Hi, All,
I posted a message on the subject a little earlier, but apparently I need
to learn more.
The Apache::Cookie-expires as below adds unwanted information
(header dump attached) to the date and subsequently does not want to
bake ($cookie-bake).
This is the code:
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie-new( $r, -name=access,
-value=$cookie{access}-value, -expires='+20m' );
I run ActiveState Perl under the Win32 (WinME) with mod_perl 1.26
under Apache 1.3.22. Whether I run it on the Linux or use CGI::Cookie
everything goes just fine. What's so wrong with Windows or the script
or mod_perl (libapreq) that this happens?
Cheers, Alexei

Apache::Cookie bug with value = undef
If I do this:
Apache::Cookie-new( $r,
-name = 'foo',
-value = { will_break = '', completely_borked = 1 } )-bake;
and then I later try to read the cookie in and do this:
my %c = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
my %cookie = $c{foo}-value;
print $cookie{will_break};
It will print 'completely_borked'!
The cookie's value looks something like this when sent to the browser:
will_breakcompletely_borked1
The problem is here in apache_cookie.c
while (*pair (val = ap_getword(r-pool, pair, ''))) {
ap_unescape_url((char *)val);
ApacheCookieAdd(c, val);
}
Here's a line from the ap_getword docs.
Copies everything from line up to stop to a new string. line is updated
to point to the first character after stop. Multiple occurrences of stop
are skipped if present.
It's that multiple occurrences are skipped bit that's causing the trouble.
I tried to fix it but I am a C gimp and don't know WTF I am doing.

Quite so.

Please don't modify the function ap_getword() in src/main/util.c as
that will probably break all sorts of things.
You could make a function like it by copying everything in the function
API_EXPORT(char*) ap_getword()
{
...
...
while(*pos == stop)
{
++pos;
}
...
...
}
and making a new one for example
API_EXPORT(char*) dave_ap_getword()
{
...
...
/*
while(*pos == stop)
{
++pos;
}
*/
...
...
}
and then call that instead. You will need to find the header file
which declares the function and put a declaration along the same lines
in there and then recompile.
I'd leave this new function in the same file (util.c) for a quick hack
but if you leave it like that then ten to one you'll forget it's in
there and have to do it all over again next time you upgrade Apache.
It's still better to find a way around the problem than to do
something nasty like this.

I can hardly control the order in which values are written out to the
cookie via a hash! Unless instead of an anonymous hash, I passed in a
reference to a tied hash or something.

No, I was trying to fix it in apache_cookie.c It could simply check if
the next char was '' before calling ap_getword.

I was trying to patch Apache::Cookie, not Apache. Apache is doing what it
says, and is therefore correct. Its simply not desirable to use that

Apache::Cookie and encoding
Howdy folks, I'd like to use Apache::Cookie, but I'm doing some tricky things with cookie data, which requires that I do the encoding myself. However, every time I 'bake' a cookie object, it tries to encode stuff for me. I don't like this. For example, if I've got cookie data that looks like 'foo%21', it emerges from 'bake' looking like 'foo%2521'. Is there any way to prevent this behavior?

RE: Apache::Cookie and encoding

For example, if I've got cookie data that looks like 'foo%21', it

prevent this behavior?
First of all,
reading the cookie value in should reverse the weirdness (encoding)
that -bake is doing.
Second of all,
if it's still a problem, you can either
A) design your cookie string to NOT use those characters (like, if % is a
separator, choose a : or something),
B) use Storable / MIME::Base64 / UUEncode ( which is as simple as pack('u',
$val) ! ) , or
C) encode it yourself.
Hope this helps!

Apache::Cookie-bake - When?
I'm slowly porting my development scripts from mod_cgi to mod_perl. I just moved my main authentication handler to PerlFixupHandler (later I'll probably move it to AuthenHandler, but I just want it to work for now). In any case, all of the sudden, my upload script is choking and giving me 400 (Bad request) errors. I wanted to ask if this is because I'm new() and bake()ing a session cookie before I even get around to parsing the upload (and any other data, for that matter), or am I barking up the wrong tree? The upload script itself was working very nicely under Apache::Registry and is using CGI, not Apache (yet). Any ideas?

[Apache::Cookie] Segv in Cookie.so ?
Anyone else experiencing segv's in Cookie.so? I'm using mod_perl 1.25, Apache 1.3.14, and libapreq (Apache::Cookie) 0.31.3 with HTML::Mason 0.89. I tried a rebuild of libapreq etc., but it still segv's. I've an authen handler and a request handler, and both use Apache::Cookie. I'm not certain where it's seg faulting... My error log is full of messages about apache's dieing with sig 11, and the screens in the browser are often missing graphics, or coming up with a "document contains no data" dialog at that point. Perhaps it serves one request and then segv's? If this is not a common problem, let me know, and I'll spend some time trying to get a backtrace and recipe to reproduce the bug. -- mailto: (Karl M.

Re: I'm missing something in Apache::Cookie
Michael ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something to this effect:
H.
When I retrieve a cookie
%cookies = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
I get a hash that contains the name of the cookie as the key and a
scalar reference as the value.
Apache::Cookie=SCALAR(0xblah...)
Can't seem to unravel it to get at the
value. Using
%xx = Apache::Cookie-parse($val);
gives an apparently empty hash, yet retrieving the headers via
Apache::Table yields the correct results
Cookie=foo=bar
cook name val
foo bar
So what am I doing wrong with Apache::Cookie that keeps me from
returning the cookie value.
This should do it:
my $ac = Apache::Cookie-new($r);
my $cookies = $ac-fetch;
my %cookies = ();
for (keys %{$cookies}) {
$cookies{$_} = $cookies-{$_}-value;
}
However, I always find it easier to fetch cookies like this:
my $cookies = { map { $1 = $2 if (/([^=]+)=(.*)/) }
grep !/^$/, split /;\s*/, $r-header_in('cookie') };
$r-pnotes('cookies', $cookies);
No messing with objects or any of that stuff. Putting it into pnotes makes
the hashref accessible to other phases or subroutines easily (you only have
to pass $r). (That's why I use a hashref and not a hash, so I can just put
it directly into pnotes.)

It can return either a hash or a hash reference, depending on whether or not
you wantarray. The problem many people encounter is that the values in the
returned hash(ref) are Apache::Cookie OBJECTS, not simply value of the
cookie. There's more to a cookie than just it's value.
I think it goes something like this.
%cookies = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
print ref \%cookies; # prints HASH ??
print ref $cookies{'SESSION'}; # prints Apache::Cookie ??
print $cookies{'SESSION'}-value; # prints the value of SESSION cookie
RTFM to be sure, or run it and see what you get!

segfault from Apache::Cookie and Apache::SSI
I'm getting repeatable segfaults (every time) by feeding a simple file to
Apache::SSI. It does a virtual include and then calls a perl sub that
creates a new Apache::Cookie object, at which point it segfaults. I've
reduced my test case to this:
!--#include virtual="foo.shtml"--
!--#perl sub="sub { my $cookie =
Apache::Cookie-new(Apache-request) }"--
It doesn't matter what's in foo.shtml (right now I have a single "X"), but
it does matter that it gets handled by Apache::SSI. If foo.shtml is not
handled by Apache::SSI, everything is fine.
I'm trying to reduce my test further, but does anyone have any ideas of
what I should look at? I'm running perl 5.005, Apache 1.3.12,
mod_perl 1.24, Apache::SSI 2.13, Apache::Cookie 0.01 (from libapreq 0.31)
on Linux (Red Hat 6.2).

Re: Apache::Cookie problems
But while Recovering the Cookie I got some errors: $cookie_ref = Apache::Cookie-fetch; any difference if you change that to: my $r = Apache-request; my $cookies = Apache::Cookie-new($r)-parse; ?
First argument to Apache::Cookie-new
I have noticed that although it is required to pass $r to Apache::Cookie-new() as the first argument, it appears that no type checking is performed. In other words, if I pass anything else as the first arg, no error is reported. However the subsequent call to $cookie-as_string will result in an empty string. I wonder if it is possible to do a simple type checking there, since this is the biggest difference from CGI::Cookie, and for people familiar with CGI::Cookie it would be a nice debugging info.

Apache::Cookie problems
Hi,
I have some problems in setting and getting back Cookie Values with
Apache::Cookie.
I'm setting a cookie with Apache::Cookie and it seems that the cookie is
set correct:
my $c = Apache::Cookie-new($r,
-name= 'conf',
-value = $hash_ref,
-expires = '+30D',
-path= '/'
);
$c-bake;
But while Recovering the Cookie I got some errors:
$cookie_ref = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
Now $cookoe_ref-{conf} contains not a reference to the old values, it
contains a skalar like "Apache::Cookie=SCALAR(0x8b675b8)", but no
hashref ...
Whats going on? It seems that I'm too stupid, argl!
The CGI::Cookie-POD only sais:
fetch returns an associative array consisting of all
cookies returned by the browser. The keys of the array
are the cookie names.
OK, OK, but what's with the Values of the Hash?
How can I get the Cookie Values back?
Whats going wrong?
Thanx and Ciao

Re: Apache::Cookie problems
perldoc Apache::Cookie says
value
Get or set the values of the cookie:
1.my $value = $cookie-value;
2.my @values = $cookie-value;
3.$cookie-value("string");
4.$cookie-value(\@array);
so if you set a array ref in 4 you retrieve it as in 2
extrapolating that I hope if you set a hash ref with value
you should get a hash back with value. The the same happens.
the following two snippets (set and get cookie) demonstrates
that
set-cookie.html

Apache::Cookie confusion
Apache::Cookie seems to have two different interfaces...or maybe there
are two different distributions of Apache::Cookie? Whatever it is, the
interface seems different on two machines here at work. One has 5.004
and one has 5.005, but that shouldn't change the Apache::Cookie interface
should it?
The interfaces are totally different. One uses set() and get(), either
from an object or via Apache::Cookie-get(). The other purports to
use the CGI::Cookie interface but only accepts the methods it documents
itself: fetch(), bake(), etc.
In my code, I "use Apache::Cookie" and then bang away trying to figure
out what methods it supports. The result is that the code on machine1
that calls Apache::Cookie-get('mycookie') dies with an undefined
subroutine error when run on machine2 (and vise versa for code on
machine2 that uses fetch() and bake()).
What am I missing here? I've done "force install Apache::Cookie"
from the CPAN shell prompt several time to try to make sure everything
is in sync, but the discrepancy still exists, and I still don't know
what the correct interface to Apache::Cookie should be. My hunch is
that the get() and fetch() versions are completely separate modules
that both declare "package Apache::Cookie", but good old CPAN should
allow that, should it?
Can someone set me straight?

$cookie-set(-name = 'cookie', -value = 'monster');
$value = $cookie-get('cookie');
...
On machine 2:
% perldoc Apache::Cookie
NAME
Apache::Cookie - HTTP Cookies Class
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Cookie ();
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie-new($r, ...);
