Re: FW: Re: Apache::TestRequest + Cookies
Ok, here's my first crack at a quick n dirty cookies test. The new test is t/cookies.t, and it's supporting server file is t/htdocs/cgi-bin/cookies.pl. I figured the extra cgi-bin directory was good for sanity sake. I've also included the necessary patches to MANIFEST and extra.conf.in against A-T 1.16. -=Chris a-t-cookie-test.tar.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data

Re: Apache::TestRequest + Cookies
just a very simple test that verifies that the documented technique works. later on it may evolve to include a special A-T API if we ever add one. Is it enought to do IfModule mod_usertrack.c and also need_module(mod_usertrack.c) to determine if the usertrack mnodule is installed, or is there someplace deeper within the setup where we can actually add LoadModule mod_usertrack.c?

for config it's enough for the code it's:
plan tests = 5, need_module('usertrack');
but most people won't have this module installed...

Re: Apache::TestRequest + Cookies
but most people won't have this module installed... Installed, or loaded? I know the httpd.conf defaults to having that module commented out, but the module itself should be around. Maybe relying on Apache::Session would cover more install scnerios instead. I was trying to avoid writing a custom handler just to accept and toss some cookies in the test environment, but maybe that's better. At least then everyone install should be able to run the A-T cookie test.

Well, here's what I was thinking. First, write a quick and dirty
mod_perl handler that looked for a specific cookie; let's say 'ApacheTest'.
If it wasn't supplied by the client, send a new copy out. If it was sent
by the client, simply return the supplied cookie/value.
Shouldn't take more than a few lines of code, and it removes the
dependency of usertrack and Apache::Session.
Then, simply write a test that makes a series of requests to that
handler. The first response should return a new ApacheTest cookie/value,
and the second test should pass back the same ApacheTest cookie/value if
Apache::TestRequest::user_agent( cookie_jar = {});
and it's surroundings are woroking fine.

Sounds good. Though it'll probably need to leave in the modperl2's test
suite and not Apache-Test's one. but let's see the code first and then see
where it's the best to apply it. You can use the
http://perl.apache.org/~geoff/Apache-Test-skeleton-mp2.tar.gz
to make it easy to write the test.

The reason I'm OK with adding A-T tests to modperl is that we run modperl2 tests all the time, much more often than A-T tests, so it's probably a second best place to put those cookie tests. In fact you can already find some cookie tests in the modperl2 test suite (against CGI.pm). -- __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

Now that I've gotten a few other module updates out of the way, I want
to get back to the thought of cookies within A-T. Two things were
mentioned that would help the A-T project in some way.
First, possibly add pod doc on how to use cookies within A-T using
Michaels solution of
Apache::TestRequest::user_agent( cookie_jar = {});
+1
and possibly others. I would also probably take a stab at getting some
of the other things in
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html into the pod;
specifically the use of the secondary param in the GET request to add
outgoing headers and the like.
+1
Second, add some sort of cookie tests to the A-T test suit. I'm not
quite sure what a test would be for other than to verify that A-T using
LWP actually receives and sends cookies and verifies they get remembered
between requests. But that seems more like testing LWP and A-T to me.
just a very simple test that verifies that the documented technique works.
later on it may evolve to include a special A-T API if we ever add one.
My first thoughts are to keep it as simple as possible and check for
mod_usertrack. It it's there, ensure the first tracking cookie value is
maintained across multiple requests.
Whatever you find the best is fine with us. You may want to use the
same_interp framework in case you need to make sure that you hit the same
perl interpreter (in case you store some data on the server side). See the
tests in modperl-2.0/t for examples.

Re: Apache::TestRequest + Cookies
Thanks. I'll give that a whirl tonight.
I finally got the hack approach working by calling
$apacheRequestResponse-headers(Set-Cookie) and passing that result right
back into the [scantily mentioned] second param of Apache::TestRequest::GET
'url', headername = headervalue
Since I only had on cookie, it works. All hell would break loose the minute
I had more I assume.

Assuming Michaels solution works:

Are we looking for something more official to the actual Test::Request API;
a new method, better parameters, etc; or is the above just good enough for a
