Hello everyone, I'm new to modpython and hope to not ask an overly stupid question. Is it possible with modpython (apache) to set a cookie at the authentiction stage while a later stage interfaces to some kind of "application servers" (j2ee, cgi, fcgi, modpython PythonHandler, etc.) that create the actual response? The danger I see is that the cookie, being part of the response header, may be overwritten by the application server. If this is the case, should I prepare the cookie data in the authentication handler and communicate it to a handler that runs after the response is created by the application server. The manual states that "You can dynamically assign attributes to [the request object] as a way to communicate between handlers". Is this the mechanism that I could use to communicate the cookie data? If so, does anyone have an example for such communications? And also, what stage would I use to actually set the cookie (is the cleanup handler a good choice?). Many thanks for any help -bud ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ing. Bud P.
