Cooking Recipes

Description

As the chapter's title implies, here you will find ready-to-go mod_perl 2.0 recipes.

If you know a useful recipe, not yet listed here, please post it to the mod_perl mailing list and we will add it here.

Sending Cookies in REDIRECT Response (ModPerl::Registry)

  use CGI::Cookie ();
  use Apache::RequestRec ();
  use APR::Table ();
  
  use Apache::Const -compile => qw(REDIRECT);
  
  my $location = "http://example.com/final_destination/";
  
  sub handler {
      my $r = shift;
  
      my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->new(-name  => 'mod_perl',
                                    -value => 'awesome');
  
      $r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => $cookie);
      $r->headers_out->set(Location => $location);
      $r->status(Apache::REDIRECT);
  
      return Apache::REDIRECT;
  }
  1;

Sending Cookies in REDIRECT Response (handlers)

  use CGI::Cookie ();
  use Apache::RequestRec ();
  use APR::Table ();
  
  use Apache::Const -compile => qw(REDIRECT);
  
  my $location = "http://example.com/final_destination/";
  
  sub handler {
      my $r = shift;
  
      my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->new(-name  => 'mod_perl',
                                    -value => 'awesome');
  
      $r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => $cookie);
      $r->headers_out->set(Location => $location);
  
      return Apache::REDIRECT;
  }
  1;

note that this example differs from the Registry example only in that it does not attempt to fiddle with $r->status() - ModPerl::Registry uses $r->status() as a hack, but handlers should never manipulate the status field in the request record.
