Re: Internal redirect inside an input filter

[Dan DeSmet]

I took your advice and tried switching it over to a TransHandler.  Now, the
beginning of the handler where I manipulate the cookies looks like this:

sub handler {
    my $r = shift;
    my $cookieString = $r->headers_in->get('Cookie');
    ...
}

I then do a check to see if the cookies exist; that tells me whether it's a
client's first request, or a subsequent one.  I then need to read a bunch of
information out of the cookies and then rewrite one of them.  Unfortunately,
the above code always yields me an empty string.  I can check my browser
cookies and see that they've been set correctly.  Can the TransHandler
manipulate the request headers apart from the URI?  Or am I just missing
something?

Thanks,
Dan
