📛 NAME

Apache::Session::Generate::ModUsertrack - mod_usertrack for session ID generation

🚀 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.
