Yes. It exports an environment variable, see the SessionEnv directive
for details.

Thank you. I will take a look at mod_session. Will my module be able to check 
if 
mod_session is "enabled" (sorry, I don't know the Apache terminology) and, if 
it 
is, talk to it and ask it for what it has stored in its session?

Apache core doesn't have a concept of sessions (or state as such) but
take a look at mod_session.

Re: How do I get hold of session information?

2010-10-19 Thread Paul Donaldson
In a Java servlet I may do something like this to get hold of the session on 
the 
web server:

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws 
java.io.IOException
{
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Cart cart = (Cart)session.getAttribute("cart");
...

and I can get hold of the session id etc.

I assume that if I were to make a request to a web site hosted on Apache then 
the capability exists for one of the server side web pages to create a session 
and store some piece of data in it. What I want to do in my module is get hold 
of that session (if it exists) and read data from it.

How do I get hold of session information?

2010-10-19 Thread Paul Donaldson
Hello,

I have a module that does little more than take the information in the http 
request and forward it to another web site. I can get information from the 
query 
string easily enough, but is there any way I can get information about the 
session, and data stored in it?

Thanks,
Paul
