RE: [cgiapp] logging in with CGI::Session and CGI::Application


cool...

I'm trying to make this as secure as possible without binding myself to one
webserver.. (ie apache with apache::session)

so I want the session to expire within 15 minutes without use..
I am not using cookies.. only ID passed as form parameter thought all links
and forms.

CGI::Session is going to be using MySQL with password protection. (I'm using
files until I get it all setup)...


Is there anything else I can do to improve reliability and security of this?

Later on, I will probably convert this thing to mod_perl... it shouldn't
require too many changes.. and it will make some of the code redundant.

I love the layout.. it took awhile to get used to it.. but now I have the
framework setup.. extending this app is a breeze..

I love CGI::Application.. its probably the most useful module I've used..
HTML::Template is pretty cool too.

Those two with CGI::Session really are designed for each other...

Good stuff  :-)

Good choice. I use CGI::Session as well.

I don't use this feature but Sherzod reads this list and will hopefully
post a reply for you. If not, try emailing him directly.
