I acknowledge that I may be doing this wrong.

 

I have a very trivial hunchentoot server which merely returns a string containing the Hunchentoot SessionID.

 

From browsers, this works - subsequent requests do not result in a new session being created.

 

However, even (mis?) using the cookie-jar, I end up with new sessions being created.

 

(let ((jar (make-instance 'cookie-jar)))
  (labels ((doit ()
             (print (multiple-value-list (http-request http://mysite.com/ :cookie-jar jar)))
             (print (cookie-jar-cookies jar))))
    (doit)
    (doit)
    (doit)
    (cookie-jar-cookies jar)))

 

 

The cookie seems to be replaced with each call, with a new session's cookie.  I imagine hunchentoot uses cookies to track sessions - is the old cookie not being sent back?

 

Is there something I am doing wrong?  Is there a way to use Drakma to track a persistent session?

 

The set-cookie comes back as hunchentoot-session=xx%yyy - where xx is the session number.

 

Thanks,

Matt.
