hi all,

we are new to pound. our problem is that we woud need the possibility to use
URL /and/ COOKIE in the same time in one GroupDirective.
are there plans to realize that feature? or any hints how to realize that?

thanks, regards
stefan

Are you quite sure that both are used at the same time? In other words, your 
session key is some concatenation of the cookie value and some URL parameter? 
I find it rather hard to believe - the application complexity would be 
staggering, and unnecessary. I suggest you check again.

If your application uses a cookie or (exclusive) an URL parameter to track 
sessions then Pound already offers full support for session tracking.[...]

No, it's not a concatenation: We have to use one login for 4 different domains
and to share login information between these domains in one (user)session
and to keep track of that session (which means for us to bind it on one single
server). For that purpose we use an URL parameter everytime the user jumps
between our domains no matter if he had a cookie or an url session before.
So the session information for cookie-users changes from cookie to url, back
to cookie and so on.
For that reason we would need a pound that could recognize a session no
matter if it is in a cookie or an url in the same GroupDirective.
Ok, I admit, it's weird and it would be much easier to use only one domain,
but that is not possible for us...

thanks
stefan

I must admit I find this mechanism weird - but it's your application. I would 
still suggest you reconsider the question before looking for answers...

Additionally: if this is about identifying users, then Pound-current supports 
BasicAuthentication in addition to the other session types. That means that 
once a user is logged-in (via the user name/password dialog), Pound can track 
a session based on the user credentials, regardless of URL parameter or 
cookie.

Hope this helps a bit.[...]

It worked very well for a long time as long as we worked with one server :-)

Unfortunately we don't use BasicAuthentication but LoginManager ...

For now we will stop working with cookies. So we can use Pound with the
URL-Sessions. That will be a little bit less comfort for our users. But
everybody can use our functionality (which is not the case  for cookies).

Thank you very much :-)
