Folks,
=20
I taking over some really old code and I'm in the process of converting =
it over to mp2. I want to be able to use APR::Request::Cookie to create =
the cookie for the new things I'm doing but I need to create it exactly =
like CGI.pm is currently doing so the old code will continue to work =
until I get everthing updated.
=20
I'm hoping someone knows both methods enough to tell me what I'm doing =
wrong.
=20
The CGI.pm cookie is being created like:
$query->cookie(-name=3D>'name',-value=3D>[val1,val2,val3,val 4,val5,val6,v=
al7],-expires=3D>'+5y',-domain=3D>www.domain.com,-path=3D>/) ;
=20
=20
I do my cookies like:
my $packed_cookie =3D APR::Request::Cookie->new($r->pool,
name =3D> 'name',
value =3D> $cookie_value, =20
path =3D> '/',
domain =3D> 'www.domain.com',
expires =3D> +5y,
); =20
$r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' =3D> $packed_cookie->as_string);
=20
For the value I made an array
@cookie_value =3D ('val1','val2','val3','val4','val5',val6','val7');
=20
In $packed_cookie I tried using @cookie_value directly, I tried it as an =
arrayref ($cookie_value), I tried it like [@cookie_value] etc and not =
matter what I do I can't get the old code to read it via
=20
my ($val1,$val2,$val3,$val4,$val5,$val6,$val7) =3D =
$query->cookie(-name=3D>'name');
=20
The cookie is getting set though, I can view it from within Mozilla. It =
just isn't being read by CGI.pm
=20
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
=20
TIA!!

Re: Cookie help - using both cgi.pm and APR::Request::Cookie

I don't guarantee that this is the real issue you're having, but be
careful of the following : either of the Apache2::Request::Cookie or
CGI::Cookie (don't remember which one) URL-encodes the cookie value by
default, and the other one does not. Maybe you're getting caught by that.
One of the modules above offers a "raw_cookie" method to get around
this, but again I don't remember which one.

Hi Andre,
=20
That was is. Once I created the cookie value like
=20
my $cookie_value =3D qq|$val1&$val2&$val3.....|;=20
=20
It worked! Now I just got to update everything so I don't need to do =
that anymore :)
=20
Thanks!
-Chris
