[Catalyst-dev] Implementing a 'remember me on this computer' button

[Edmund von der Burg]

I want my sessions either to be long-lived (several months) or, at the
user's discretion, only last for the current browser session.
Achieving either of these is quite easy, but doing both in one app
appears a little trickier.

Am I missing something obvious?

It seems to me that the easiest way to implement this might be to add
a flag that can be saved to the session - 'browser_session_only' or
similar. This would then be checked by the
C::P::Session::State::Cookie code (for the individual session) and the
correct cookie expiry time set. Happy to provide patches/tests if this
is the way to go.

Or is there a better way?

Cheers,
  Edmund.
