Cookie help - using both cgi.pm and APR::Request::Cookie
Folks,
I taking over some really old code and I'm in the process of converting it over
to mp2. I want to be able to use APR::Request::Cookie to create the cookie for
the new things I'm doing but I need to create it exactly like CGI.pm is
currently doing so the old code will continue to work until I get everthing
updated.
I'm hoping someone knows both methods enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The CGI.pm cookie is being created like:
$query->cookie(-name=>'name',-value=>[val1,val2,val3,val4,val5,val6,val7],-expires=>'+5y',-domain=>www.domain.com,-path=>/);
I do my cookies like:
my $packed_cookie = APR::Request::Cookie->new($r->pool,
name => 'name',
value => $cookie_value,
path => '/',
domain => 'www.domain.com',
expires => +5y,
);
$r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => $packed_cookie->as_string);
For the value I made an array
@cookie_value = ('val1','val2','val3','val4','val5',val6','val7');
In $packed_cookie I tried using @cookie_value directly, I tried it as an
arrayref ($cookie_value), I tried it like [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc and not matter
what I do I can't get the old code to read it via
my ($val1,$val2,$val3,$val4,$val5,$val6,$val7) = $query->cookie(-name=>'name');
The cookie is getting set though, I can view it from within Mozilla. It just
isn't being read by CGI.pm
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
TIA!!
Re: Cookie help - using both cgi.pm and APR::Request::Cookie
I don't guarantee that this is the real issue you're having, but be
careful of the following : either of the Apache2::Request::Cookie or
CGI::Cookie (don't remember which one) URL-encodes the cookie value by
default, and the other one does not. Maybe you're getting caught by that.
One of the modules above offers a "raw_cookie" method to get around
this, but again I don't remember which one.

Hi Andre,
That was is. Once I created the cookie value like
my $cookie_value = qq|$val1&$val2&$val3.|;
It worked! Now I just got to update everything so I don't need to do that
anymore :)
Thanks!
