[NTLUG:Discuss] apache/ssi question

[David Camm]

in fact, the apache book only references cookies as it relates to user
tracking.

i have written a very small program which sets a cookie in my browser. 

when i then exec www.foo.com/cgi-bin/test-cgi.pl - which prints out the
contents of the environment, 
there is an environment variable called HTTP_COOKIE which has the value
of the cookie i just set.

when i go to www.foo.com/test.shtml which does an exec
cgi=/cgi-bin/test-cgi.pl, HTTP_COOKIE does NOT
show up in the output.

what i'm trying to do is use a cookie for authentication, not tracking.
if i can get HTTP_COOKIE passed when executing an SSI exec, i;ve got it
licked!
