NAME
Catalyst::Plugin::SwiffUploaderCookieHack - Hack to get session restored
when Flash makes a HTTP request to your app.
DESCRIPTION
There is a major deficiency in the Flash http client. A sane browser
plugin would collect cookies that exist in the context it was loaded
from and include those cookies in the headers of any http requests it
makes.
Flash dosen't always do this, and in the situations where it does the
implementation is not optimal.
To work around this, on the client side add your
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie's session id to the body of the
http request keyed to your session's cookie name and use this plugin to
get the session seamlessly restored.
USAGE
FancyUpload knows about this problem and will put cookies in the http
request for you when it uploads a file if you ask it to. See the
appendCookieData option at .
Then load this plugin in to Catalyst like so:
use Catalyst (
...
'SwiffUploaderCookieHack',
...
'Session',
'Session::Store::DBIC',
'Session::State::Cookie',
...
);
Now your session will work seamlessly with Flash.
CAVEATS
If you try to use the app's Catalyst::Plugin::Session before this plugin
runs, things aren't going to work. Try to reference it in the front of
the "use Catalyst(...)" argument list so it runs early.
