irrespective of user is logged in or not

$c->session i mean.

| Hi,
| 
| If a user sends a request that requires a login, I'd like to persist
| their data until they've successfully logged-in, and continue without
| them having to re-enter the original data.
| 
| Currently, anywhere that requires a login has the following method:
| 
| sub auto : Private {
|      my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
| 
|      $self->require_login($c);
| 
|      $c->check_any_user_role(qw( editor admin ));
| }
| 
| The require_login method in my BaseController.pm returns true if
| logged-in, and does detach('/auth/login') if they're not.
| 
| The require_login method is an ideal place to grab the Request data,
| freeze it with Storable, encrypt_hex it with Crypt::CBC, and stick it in
| the stash.
| Then, the login action can put that frozen request into a hidden form
| field.
| I'd also need to store the $c->action->private_path() so I can detach to
| the correct place after login.
| 
| The part I'm unsure of is how much of the $c->request data to store, and
| how to restore it again after a successful login.
| 
| Initially I only need to deal with basic post key/value params, however
| I do anticipate needing to deal with file uploads in the future.
| 
| Has anyone dealt with this scenario already, or have any advice on how
| to restore a different Request?
| 
| Many thanks,
| Carl
