Re^2: Apache2::Cookie troubles... sanity check needed on auth/sess handling

[jimbus]

Based on the recipe, I updated the following to the login page

if ($res->{res})
{
  my $MAC = Digest::SHA1::sha1_hex($ARGS{username}, "Get the S1gnal!")
+;

  my $cookie = Apache2::Cookie->new
       ( $r,
         -name  => 'user_login',
         -value => { user_id => $ARGS{username}, MAC => $MAC },
         -path  => '/',
         -domain  => 'ruth.dobson.net',
         -expires => '+1M',
       );

  $r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => $cookie);
}

It didn't change any thing. is there any way to, if I stop before the redirect, to check and see what whas set or check someplace to see what is happening when I submit the cookie? I'm not sure how to go about debugging this.

$r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => $cookie->as_string);

To debug cookie problems, use a browser that shows the headers (lwp-request, Firefox with LiveHTTPHeaders, a logging proxy).
