[Catalyst] Use SessionId from HTTP header

It seems it's already possible with the Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State Cookie andd URI modules.

The howto on the Catalyst WiKi helped me out.

So problem solved.

Onderwerp: [Catalyst] Use SessionId from HTTP header

In a RESTful application I'm working I'd like to be able to load a session based on the sessionid which is sent with the HTTP headers. The application will, at a later stadium, get a webinterface as well so I'd still like to use cookies, except for the RESTful part I want to be able to choose.

What would be the best approach on this problem. Write a Catalyst::Plugin:Session::State based module? If so, some pointers on doing so would be nice. I'm not very familiar with Catalyst and Moose, so I'm struggling a bit on this part.

Thanks,

Christiaan

It's perfectly arguable that you just failed at REST.

http://www.prescod.net/rest/mistakes/
Do HTTP auth (Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP) in the
RESTful part, and use standard password & cookies for the non-restful
part.

You just configure 2 different realms in your authentication config,
and call $c->authenticate with a realm parameter..

Thanks for the link and preventing me from some big mistakes in the

indeed.
