I'd like to know if anyone has run across a good tutorial on building/configuring apache to use cookies in a virtual host environment for just one domain on a server. I'm especially interested in making sure that apache doesn't send a cookie for every request (ie, gifs and jpgs) but only for the html page requested or cgi generated pages and such, so I can simply track unique visitors (later I'd potentially like to be able to customize content). I see on apache's site I need to compile it with the mod_usertrack module and enable it with the CookieTracking directive, but I have seen too many sites that send a cookie on every single request which is utterly annoying. I'm guessing I ultimately want apache to set/check the cookie on specified requests and also have the log file record the unique cookie id. I'm also guessing I want to set the cookie at the server level and not as a part of each web page on the site, which for a variety of reasons is going to be impossible. And I'd really like to learn about deciding what requests cookies get set on. The apache faq and Apache Week sites weren't much help and searching on hotbot hasn't turned up anything yet. Anyone run across a tutorial anywhere... Jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
