Sessionizer

Interacts with user client about session cookie, and enriches context with this cookie.

What it does

When this service is hit, it will determine if the visitor has a known session cookie. If it doesn't, it'll assign one. The cookie will be put for underlying Services.

How it works

{
        plugins = [
                f"Auth.dll",
                f"BasicHttpServer.dll",
                f"OutputComposing.dll"];

        instances = {
                server = HttpService(
                        prefixes = ["http://localhost:8080/"]
                ) {
                        http_branch = Sessionizer(
                                cookiename = "session"
                        ) {
                                http_branch = Template(
                                        f"index.html");
// index.html contains {% session %} and will display
// the session cookie.
                        };
                };
        };
}

Settings
