patch for C::P::Session::Store::Cookie

hey, it's a patch for Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::Cookie. to make
cookie_domain more configurable.

__PACKAGE__->config->{session}->{cookie_domain} = sub {
my $c = shift;
if ( $c->req->uri->host =~ /xxx\.com/ ) {
return '.xxx.com';
} else {
return '.yyy.com';
}
};

if it's acceptable, I'll provide a .t for that.

Thanks.

Er, I don't see the value of putting code refs into config - that's
fairly insane.. Code != config.

What are you actually trying to achieve here (i.e. what are some example
use cases)?

But yes, patches to improve flexibility with tests would be generally
welcome.

Cheers

I can't speak to the method, but the desire is something I would like to
have. If an application is accessible via different domains, it is nice to
be able to change the cookie name.

A simple, and contrived but real world example, is this:

Production application lives on secure.domainname.com, but shares auth
cookies with www.domainname.com

As such, you set cookie_domain => '.domainname.com'

However, in development without special modification (local config having
cookie_domain => 'localhost') you can't login anymore.

Being able to specify the session cookie name based on the request would be
useful for edge cases.

I totally agree.

How would something like a 'cookie_name_stash_key' configuration
parameter sit with you?

If not provided, we do what we do now, if provided then that stash
key will be used if present and defined, otherwise the default
handling will be used.

If it can understand nested keys in the stash, I'm all in favor of it.

Something like $c->stash->{page}->{cookie_domain} would fit inline with what
I currently do for similar things.

I guess if cookie_name_stash_key is a non ref scalar, then it's
treated as a sting ($c->stash->{$cookie_name_stash_key}), otherwise
it's treated as a set of keys (e.g. cookie_name_stash_key => [qw/page
cookie_domain/] does your example above.
