Author Persistent Data with HTTP, Apache and Perl
Nigel Peck

2007-12-21, 4:01 am


Hi all,

I'm looking for some recommendations of ways to have http sessions using
Apache and Perl.

I have (will have) a shopping application that needs to work across
user's visits to static html pages, so passing a session id in the page
is not viable. I don't want to rely on cookies.

How do http sessions work? What's the best way to use them with
Apache/Perl? Do all current browsers pass the http header with the
session id back and forth?

Cheers,
Nigel

Then you probably want a forum about http sessions, Apache, and Perl.
Even if you're not using mod_perl (but you probably are), permit me to
recommend the mod_perl Users mailing list:

http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html

Cheers!
