NAME

Apache::CookieToQuery - Rewrite query string by adding cookie information

SYNOPSIS

In httpd.conf or similiar

<Location /YourLocation>
	PerlAddVar IncludeCookie WSID
	PerlAddVar IncludeCookie SID
	PerlAddVar IncludeCookie QID
	PerlAddVar CookieAlias WSID:WebSiteId
	PerlAddVar CookieAlias QID:QueryId
	PerlFixupHandler Apache::CookieToQuery	
</Location>

Requests for http://yourhost/YourLocation?extra_params=12345

Will now become rewritten so they look similiar to:

http://yourhost/YourLocation?WebSiteId=<cookie WSID>;SID=<cookie SID>;QueryId=<cookie QID>;extra_params=12345

Where <cookie WSID> for example is the value of cookie named WSID

DESCRIPTION

This module will aid in adding cookie information to your query strings
so that cgi scripts or handlers underneath can have immidate benefit

It requires mod_perl + Apache web server with PERL_FIXUP callback hook enabled
for more information on callback hooks refer to: 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Callback_Hooks

IncludeCookie specifies cookie names that will be added, if none are specified
any cookie name is taken into consideration

CookieAlias specifies cookie name to look for and cookie name to alias it with 
when query string is rewritten, if alias for a cookie name does not exist, 
original cookie name will be used 

Please note that in the current implementation cookies always take precedence 
over query string paramaters 

This package should always be installed as PerlFixupHandler so that it can execute before
standard PerlResponseHandler is called
