Re: cookies and redirecting

[Anonymous Monk]

here is the code am using now but it is still not doing right.

    if(my $cryptpass = Intranet::Security::Authenicate($args{'username
+'},$args{'password'}))
    {
        my $co = new CGI;
        my $cookie = Intranet::Security::CreateUserCookie($args{'usern
+ame'},$cryptpass) || die " Could not create cookie";
        print $co->header( -uri=>'/maddenapps/test.cgi', -cookie=>$coo
+kie);
        exit;
    }

s/header/redirect/;

i did do that, and redirect with out setting the cookie. Could the problem i am doing this on IIS?

IIS versions 3, 4, and 5 have a bug that causes them to ignore the cookie header on a redirect. You'll need to use a non-parsed header (NPH) script or find an alternative.

print $query->redirect( -uri    => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/',
                        -cookie => $cookie,
                        -nph    => 1 );

If I recall correctly, the way to get IIS to recognize the script as NPH is to prepend 'nph-' (without the quotes) to the script name. In other words, 'myscript.cgi' becomes 'nph-myscript.cgi'.
