Responding to my own post here, to keep the archive complete. (That's the only reason, since there doesn;t seem to be anyone else using cookies for auth stuff in mp2 ...) Testing has shown that the first diagnosis was correct. Stas tracked it down to %ENV not getting populated prior to the Response phase. He is working on a fix. Meanwhile I'm getting around the problem by subclassing CGI::Cookie (which we are using since Apache::Request is not ported to mp2 yet) thusly: package WM::Auth::Cookie; use strict; use warnings; use CGI::Cookie; @WM::Auth::Cookie::ISA = qw/CGI::Cookie/; sub fetch { my $class = shift; my $r = shift; my $raw_cookie = $r->headers_in->{'Cookie'}; return () unless $raw_cookie; return $class->parse($raw_cookie); } 1; the only difference in API being that one must replace my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->fetch(); with my $cookie = WM::Auth::Cookie->fetch($r); Looking forward to the proper fix though. - nick -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nick Tonkin {|8^)>
