Suggestion: HTTP Session with Fallback a la PHP4
|
|
I'm using the Apache::Session with Embperl and MySQL and like
this feature very much. My client does need a solution
for those web-surfers who disable cookies because of
(paranoid) security considerations. This is possible in
theory by rewriting every link in every HTML file:
add a session_id as a query string to it.
(disable cookies and try amazon.com for example).
The next generation of PHP, version 4 does exactly this. From the
feature list:
"
HTTP session fallback system
A fallback system for HTTP session management is built into PHP 4.0. By
default, session identifiers are stored in
cookies. If there is no cookie support or a cookie assignment fails, the
session identifier is automatically created and
carried in the query string of the URL.
"
Since EmbPerl has to parse every HTML file it would be possible
to add a session_id to every link instead of cookies too.
How about it? Is it difficult? Impossible?
