Hold on - you guys are getting confused - or maybe you're just getting me confused :-) :-)

On the server side, Tom wants to use revIgniter session support - that should be just fine. revIgniter (or indeed LC Server) doesn't know, or care, if you are using a standard browser, a revBrowser inside an LC app, or just get/put URLs from an LC app.


On the client side, Tom (I think) wants to use an LC App - not sure whether he wants a revbroswer, or if he just wants to do "get URL" etc.

If it is the former (i.e. revBrowser) then I have no clue :-)

If it is "just" an LC app, then everything is fine - so long as the app handles cookies, and session cookies, just like a browser would. Therefore, when you retrieve a URL from the site, you should check the headers - using libURLLastRHeaders() - to see what cookies are being set; and when you make subsequent requests you need to set that cookie/value in the http headers you are sending.

see http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2008-July/112454.html for a brief description.

There ought to be a library to help, but I couldn't find one.

Thanks Bob, thats what I suspected as well....I guess I have to create my
own session handler, or maybe I can still user rev-igniter's session
handling via database only and ignore the cookie....we shall see.

If the LC browser doesn't support cookies, probably nowhere. Session
cookies are kept in memory, and therefore likely inaccessible.

Hi everyone, this may be a dumb question.....but

When I download a URL (from inside LC Standalone), which is a (LC Server
Page) that generates a cookie, where does the cookie get saved?  Is it
accessible to me?
I'm working on integrating LC Standalone with a Postgress DB via LC
Server.  I'd like to have session control, but the Revigniter
Documentation
just assumes that the person is browsing the site using a regular
browser.
I'd like to download database query results straight from my standalone.

Hope my question makes sense

Thanks

Tom
