Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie - Maintain session IDs using cookies.
use Catalyst qw/Session Session::State::Cookie Session::Store::Foo/;
In order for the Catalyst::Plugin::Session manpage to work the session ID needs to be stored on the client, and the session data needs to be stored on the server.
This plugin stores the session ID on the client using the cookie mechanism.
Returns a hash reference with the default values for new cookies.
Sets the cookie based on cookie_name in the response object.
Will restore if an appropriate cookie is found.
Will set a cookie called session if it doesn't exist or if it's value is not
the current session id.
Will set the cookie_name parameter to it's default value if it isn't set.
The name of the cookie to store (defaults to Catalyst::Utils::apprefix($c) . '_session').
The name of the domain to store in the cookie (defaults to current host)
Number of seconds from now you want to elapse before cookie will expire. Set to 0 to create a session cookie, ie one which will die when the user's browser is shut down.
If this attribute set true, the cookie will only be sent via HTTPS.
The path of the request url where cookie should be baked.
Sessions have to be created before the first write to be saved. For example:
sub action : Local {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
$c->res->write("foo");
$c->session( ... );
...
}
Will cause a session ID to not be set, because by the time a session is actually created the headers have already been sent to the client.
