Re^3: Cookie->fetch problem

Well it appears I hve worked this out. I think the problem was th "mystery" cookie that had no name and blew the routine up. Still don't know where it comes from but appears each time I run.


sub GetUserSessionCookie
{
    warn("Entered GetUserSessionCookie Sessionname: '$sessionname'"); 
+   
    my $sid;
        my $sessionname = 'CGISESSID'; 
#    # fetch existing cookies
    my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch;
#    warn Dumper \%cookies;
    while ( my ($sessName, $sessId) = each(%cookies) ) {
#       Dumper($sessId);
       if ($sessName eq $sessionname) {   
          $sid = $sessId;   
         }
      }
#     $sid = '12ba7ce0cfeeae8e8a934af6724910e9';
#      $sid = '1492';
#      $sid = 0;
    
    return $sid;

I bet it was just the my $sessionname = 'CGISESSID'; When i run `my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch; print encode_entities(Dumper(\%cookies))."\n";` [download] I see `$VAR1 = { 'TSSID' => bless( { 'name' => 'TSSID', 'path' => '/', 'value' => [ '40d64ab47d37f6c7ae806dc11a +59f242' ] }, 'CGI::Cookie' ) };` [download] Remember im using TSSID rather than CGISESSID. So you are setting $sid to a hash reference that looks a whole lot like what i get when i run `my $cookie2 = $q->cookie(TSSID => $session->id ); print encode_entities(Dumper($cookie2))."\n";` [download] ie: `$VAR1 = bless( { 'name' => 'TSSID', 'path' => '/', 'value' => [ '40d64ab47d37f6c7ae806dc11a59f242' ] }, 'CGI::Cookie' );` [download] and that as $sid makes no sense if you ran `my $sessioncookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>$sname,-value=>$sid,-expire +s=>$session_cookie_timeout,-path=>'/cgi-bin',-domain=>$domain,-secure +=>1); print header(-Cookie=>[$sessioncookie],-type=>"text/html");` [download] but does make sense if you instead ran `print header(-Cookie=>[$sid],-type=>"text/html");` [download] see if i run `{ my $sname = 'CGISESSID'; my $cookie2 = $q->cookie(TSSID => $session->id ); my $sessioncookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>$sname,-value=>$cookie2,-pa +th=>'/cgi-bin'-secure=>1); print encode_entities(Dumper($sessioncookie))."\n"; }` [download] i get `$VAR1 = bless( { 'name' => 'CGISESSID', 'path' => '/', 'value' => [ bless( { 'name' => 'TSSID', 'path' => '/', 'value' => [ '40d64ab47d37f6c7a +e806dc11a59f242' ] }, 'CGI::Cookie' ) ] }, 'CGI::Cookie' );` [download] and that just looks wrong. and note that if i run `my $sname=''; my $cookie3 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>$sname,-value=>$session->id,-pa +th=>'/cgi-bin',-secure=>1); print encode_entities(Dumper($cookie3))."\n";` [download] i get back `$VAR1 = bless( { 'name' => '', 'path' => '/cgi-bin', 'secure' => 1, 'value' => [ '40d64ab47d37f6c7ae806dc11a59f242' ] }, 'CGI::Cookie' );` [download] ie: a cookie with no name	[reply] [d/l] [select]
