If I understood you properly you are redirecting the browser from a HTTP

e.g. $r->internal_redirect, ErrorDocument, CGI script emitting only a
"Location" header, ...


Since HTTP is a stateless protocol there is no other way of maintaining
state then transferring information from the server to the browser and
back. This is what cookies are made for.

Yes, that is correct. I was assuming I should put something into my session, but I wasn't sure where in the handling phase to do it.


I am using Apache::SessionManager. What is the best place in the request lifecycle to do that session update? I haven't really used anything other than Access/Authen/Authz and Response handlers. Would this be a PerlFixupHandler or a PerlTransHandler, or is something else preferred?
