PerlSendHeader and $r->header_out

["Rafiq Ismail (ADMIN)" <ra...@joshua.dreamthought.com>]

Hi People With Functioning Brain Cells,

I'm having a brief period of grief, which I'm sure I've been through
before.

I have this situation where I set a cookie using:
$r->header_out('Set-Cookie'=>$cookie);

Now this is all fine, however I'm having a major problem in getting my
header into the right place.

If I call $r->send_http_header right after my $r->header_out(set_stuff)
directive, and then call $r->print("page contents"), I get:

page_contents
HTTP_HEADERS DISPLAYED HERE (INCLUDING COOKIE HEADER)

Now, I experimented with PerlSendHeader being set to On, whilst disabling
the call to $r->send_http_header, yet it then appears to give me a header
which doesn't include the cookie header:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 13:01:12 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.20 (Linux/SuSE) PHP/4.0.6 mod_perl/1.26
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

Any idea what is going on?

I'd like to just send_http_header with the headers appearing on top of my
page.  It appears to do things in the wrong order.  There is no
duplication of headers either.

If anyone can help and would fancy flying me out, I'll even buy you a
beer. :)

My content handler returns the result of another method called within the
same module.  This method is passed the request object, which in turn it
uses to send the headers and print the page.  This seems 'sensible' to me;
so why is it not working??

Many Thanks,

Fiq

Have you tried using Apache::Cookie or CGI::Cookie? If these work for 
you, either stick to them or look at how their work.
