Re: Apache2::AuthCookie - semantics of WhatEverPath parameter?

2015-07-27 Thread Steve van der Burg
It is the path part of a URL.  The HTML Cookie specification defines it, and 
this is AuthCookie's way of letting you set it.

If the request domain + path doesn't match those set in the cookie, then the 
browser won't send the cookie to the server.

When using cookies for non-auth purposes, there are lots of cases where you 
would want something more specific than / (to set a preference specific to an 
add at some.web.site/some/app, for example).  You're right that, for auth, it's 
hard to imagine when you wouldn't want to just leave it as /.
