Re: [Slashcode-development] session managment

[John B. <ds...@zo...>]

Through trial and (mostly) error, I found the answers to all my 
previous questions, however, I'm still stuck on one minor point:

I have my session registration code called as the first thing in 
Slash.pm's header function. It gets called correctly, and does what 
it's supposed to. However, on the first page access (which generates 
the session ID from the username/password cookies that are already 
set), it doesn't recognize the user is logged in. On the second and 
subsequent accesses, slash recognizes the user properly.

As far as I can tell, this means that slash is trying to get the user 
information before I'm setting the cookie with the session ID, but 
I'm not sure where it's doing this.

Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking?

Thanks,

-John
