Bug #12149 for CGI-Application-Plugin-Session: SEND_COOKIE only works after session() is called.

Tue Apr 05 12:37:43 2005 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

SEND_COOKIE only works after session() is called.

The documentation for SEND_COOKIE was not clear that the cookie is not automatically added to the headers unless I call session(). Perhaps this could be solved nicely with a teardown() hook, which checks to see if a cookie header needs to be added. The docs for SEND_COOKIE should perhaps also mention that session_cookie() needs to be imported to work, even if the user is not accessing it directly.

I have clarified the docs as you suggested. Show quoted text

That defeats the lazy loading of the module. We would need to create a session object in order to get a valid session. If you really want a session created for every user, then just add a callback at the prerun or postrun stage that just calls $self->session. Show quoted text

This was resolved in release 0.07, but I forgot to update this bug report. Cheers, Cees
