🚀 Quick Reference

📋 SYNOPSIS

use Apache::Session::Flex;

tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Flex', $id, {
    Store     => 'MySQL',
    Lock      => 'Null',
    Generate  => 'ModUsertrack',
    Serialize => 'Storable',
    ModUsertrackCookieName => 'usertrack', # optional
};

📝 DESCRIPTION

Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack enables you to use 🍪 cookie tracked by mod_usertrack as session id for Apache::Session framework. This module fits well with ⏳ long-term sessions, so better using RDBMS like 🐬 MySQL for its storage.

⚙️ CONFIGURATION

This module accepts one extra configuration option.

• ModUsertrackCookieName — 🏷️ Specifies cookie name used in mod_usertrack. "Apache" for default, so change this if you change it via CookieName directive in mod_usertrack.

⚠️ LIMITATION WITHOUT MOD_PERL

This module first tries to fetch named cookie, but will in vain ❌ ONLY WHEN the HTTP request is the first one from specific client to the mod_usertrack enabled Apache web server. It is because if the request is for the first time, cookies are not yet baked 🍪 on clients.

If you run scripts under 🔄 mod_perl, this module tries to steal (not yet baked) cookie from Apache request notes.

See Apache for details.
