Subject: expiration of cookies
Hi, Tanks for MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession! There is one important thing about Cookies. I could not find a way with your module to omit the expiration date of the cookie. Cookies without explicit expiration date expire when the browser is closed. This functionalicity is crucial for me. I changed line 561 of WithApacheSession.pm to make it work. It would make sense to me to use the expire clause the same way as CGI::Cookie does: (from CGI documentation) ------------- optional attributes: 1. an expiration time ... If an expiration date isn’t speci- fied, the cookie will remain active until the user quits the browser. -------------- Could you fix this in the next release? Thanks! Herald

If you set the value of session_cookie_expires to undef, that should do the trick, I think. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/

That is possible, I suppose. But I use the httpd.conf directives. I tried PerlSetVar MasonSessionCookieExpires undef But that causes: Set-Cookie: session_id=74b26d0e4c857f9d6b85c7a100ed3879; path=/; expires=undef Leaving the directive out of the config results in: Set-Cookie: session_id=7296bdf8438ead058b9da119fcdd233d; path=/; expires=Thu, 11-Mar-2004 17:32:44 GMT So, I see no way out when I want to stick with httpd.conf-directives...

Good point. I'll try to think of a clean way to do this. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
