Subject: [Pound Mailing List] pound-2.0b5 and sessions - msg#00078

Hi,

Cookie sessions seem to be broken for me. The problem seems similar to
http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2005/2005-12/1135136205000#1135136205000

Does this problem still exist in the current beta? Having a quick look
at the code, I thought I saw the fix there ...

A more detailed problem description:

I am using a config like the following:


Daemon 1
LogFacility local4
LogLevel 2
Alive 30

ListenHTTP

Address 1.2.3.4
Port 8080
xHTTP 1
WebDAV 0

Service

BackEnd
Address 10.0.0.1
Priority 5
Port 80
End

Session
Type COOKIE
ID "my-cookie"
TTL 3600
End

End
End




Now if I start a browser and enter the pound URL, it hangs and says it
is waiting for the server (using tcpdump, I see that the client sends a
package and the server answers with an ack, but nothing follows).

As soon as I remove the "Session" part, it works as expected.

I also tried using PARM and set the ID corretly in the URL I entered.
This worked (at least I got the answer from the backend server).


Another note (feature request, actually):
I am using some PHP code (it is actually the Horde framework) that tries
to set a cookie first for the session data. If this does not work, the
session data is provided using the URL.
So it would be very handy if I could use something like this:
Session
Type COOKIE
Type PARM
ID "..."
TTL ...
End
So, if the session cookie is set, use it. Otherwise try the URL. If none
matches, it is a new session.



Thanks,
Michael
