RE: Logging Session IDs from environment variables
Many thanks Geoff
I feel rather embarassed to admit my stupidity here. Most pages didn't
include the ID from notes because (DOH!) they were images and the browser
was not required to prove its identity.
When I scanned up the page a bit... indeed there they were
My apologies, and again thanks

RE: Logging Session IDs from environment variables
don't worry about it - I ask silly questions all the time ;)
just in case you are interested... for my logging I set up several log
handlers: one main handler that pushes other log handlers on to the
PerlLogHander stack using push_handlers(). This way I can use the main
handler to do some pattern matching and stuff on the URI and use different
logging routines for different types of pages - for instance, I skip logging
all requests for images and the redirects resulting from a 404.
anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
glad you got your problem figured out.

RE: Logging Session IDs from environment variables
well...
variables set by the notes and subprocess_env methods should be available
for the entire length of the request, no matter what phase they are set.
I just set up a test handler that used both notes and subprocess_env to set
up variables in a PerlInitHandler and was able to capture them by adding
them to the LogFormat directive. Make sure the directive quotes the quotes
(that is, \"{NOTES_VAR}n\" for example). That you are using
PerlAuthenHandler should not make a difference.
I'm not sure if mod_perl implements a way to get pnotes stuff into your
logs, which is a pretty cool function. Anyone?
hope this helps - if not, try posting the relevant bits...

Logging Session IDs from environment variables
Hi all I have asked this before, but I still haven't managed to shed any light on it, so I was hoping that somebody might be able to shed some more light. (While you're about it, have a look at the site we have just launched : http://www.orgasmicwines.com - mod_perl & mysql based site.) If I store my sessionID in an environment variable (or in $r->notes), I can see it in other Apache:: modules, but when I try to log it using the the CustomLog directive in httpd.conf, the environment variable (or $r->notes) is blank. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I'm setting the ENV variable in a PerlAuthenHandler, before %ENV is set up? And that shouldn't affect $r->notes, should it? Any help greatly appreciated Many thanks Clint
