Hi,

i'm fighting with session in a cgi with fcl-web (lazarus 1.1 and fpc
2.7.1. When there is one web module, all is ok. When adding a second
modules, the session is not shared, even when SessionCookiePath is
set. Worse, on the first module, a new session is created each time
the cgi is called.
If someone has some tips... It gave me a headache.

Thanks in advance

I am not using the built-in cookie sessions with fcl-web (using the
in-url session tracking method personally), but asked Michael Van
Canneyt (one of the fpc developers) about this:

"Modules and session are not related at all.
 I use many many modules, and never had a problem.

 Maybe the 'CreateSession' variable is different for each module ?

He should try checking the cookies being sent between server and
browser..."

So this should not be a bug, just needs some debugging it seems. This
can be a little tiresome with web apps, but with using log files it is
possible.

Thanks bobo, you show me the way ant it works now !
I've attached a sample project if someone need to deal with session.

(old post - 7 years ago - i know, but for information, fortunately I
don't have this problem anymore due to the line below, in
iniwebsession.pp, allowing to assign TCookie.path with '/':

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
C.Path:=SessionCookiePath;
