<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have a catalyst app that uses Catalyst::Plugin::Session,
Session::State::Cookie, Session::State::URI, and Session::Store::DBIC to handle
sessions. I didn’t write the app but I’m trying to change it’s
behavior for new sessions. Currently when a request is made, the app looks for
a cookie with a valid session. If one is NOT found it adds the newly created
session id to the URL, which is visible in the browser. All subsequent
requests made will not have the session id in the URL because the cookie was retrieved.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My question is, how can I not show the session id in the URL
for the first request? I don’t want to use javascript to redirect once
the cookie is first set because a POST request would screw up some other stuff
we have going on. I would like to send just the headers to set the cookie and
somehow check to see if it was set properly (cookies not blocked) and then just
send the response without the session id in the URL. Looking for any advise on
the best way to do this. I greatly appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
