Catalyst::Plugin::SessUser:ContribuCatalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie(3)

NAME
       Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie - Maintain session IDs using
       cookies.

SYNOPSIS
	   use Catalyst qw/Session Session::State::Cookie Session::Store::Foo/;

DESCRIPTION
       In order for Catalyst::Plugin::Session 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.

METHODS
       make_session_cookie
	   Returns a hash reference with the default values for new cookies.

       update_session_cookie $hash_ref
	   Sets the cookie based on "cookie_name" in the response object.

       calc_expiry
       calculate_session_cookie_expires
       cookie_is_rejecting
       delete_session_id
       extend_session_id
       get_session_cookie
       get_session_id
       set_session_id

EXTENDED METHODS
       prepare_cookies
	   Will restore if an appropriate cookie is found.

       finalize_cookies
	   Will set a cookie called "session" if it doesn't exist or if its
	   value is not the current session id.

       setup_session
	   Will set the "cookie_name" parameter to its default value if it
	   isn't set.

CONFIGURATION
       cookie_name
	   The name of the cookie to store (defaults to
	   "Catalyst::Utils::apprefix($c) . '_session'").

       cookie_domain
	   The name of the domain to store in the cookie (defaults to current
	   host)

       cookie_expires
	   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.

       cookie_secure
	   If this attribute set to 0 the cookie will not have the secure
	   flag.

	   If this attribute set to 1 (or true for backward compatibility) -
	   the cookie send by the server to the client will got the secure
	   flag that tells the browser to send this cookies back to the server
	   only via HTTPS.

	   If this attribute set to 2 then the cookie will got the secure flag
	   only if the request that caused cookie generation was sent over
	   https (this option is not good if you are mixing https and http in
	   you application).

	   Default vaule is 0.

       cookie_httponly
	   If this attribute set to 0, the cookie will not have HTTPOnly flag.

	   If this attribute set to 1, the cookie will got HTTPOnly flag that
	   should prevent client side Javascript accessing the cookie value -
	   this makes some sort of session hijacking attacks significantly
	   harder. Unfortunately not all browsers support this flag (MSIE 6
	   SP1+, Firefox 3.0.0.6+, Opera 9.5+); if a browser is not aware of
	   HTTPOnly the flag will be ignored.

	   Default value is 1.

	   Note1: Many peole are confused by the name "HTTPOnly" - it does not
	   mean that this cookie works only over HTTP and not over HTTPS.

	   Note2: This paramater requires Catalyst::Runtime 5.80005 otherwise
	   is skipped.

       cookie_path
	   The path of the request url where cookie should be baked.

       For example, you could stick this in MyApp.pm:

	 __PACKAGE__->config( 'Plugin::Session' => {
	    cookie_domain  => '.mydomain.com',
	 });

CAVEATS
       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.
