<h3>Summary</h3>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>This submodule of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code> provides support for the
storage of user sessions on the remote browser within HTTP cookies.</p>
-
+
<p>Using cookies to store a session removes the need for the server or
a group of servers to store the session locally, or collaborate to share
a session, and can be useful for high traffic environments where a
server based session might be too resource intensive.</p>
-
+
<p>If session privacy is required, the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session_crypto.html">mod_session_crypto</a></code>
module can be used to encrypt the contents of the session before writing
the session to the client.</p>
-
+
<p>For more details on the session interface, see the documentation for
the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code> module.</p>

<p>To create a simple session and store it in a cookie called
<var>session</var>, configure the session as follows:</p>
-
- <div class="example"><h3>Browser based session</h3><p><code>
- Session On<br />
- SessionCookieName session path=/<br />

<p>For more examples on how the session can be configured to be read
from and written to by a CGI application, see the
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code> examples section.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">SessionCookieName</code> directive specifies the name and

<p>An optional list of cookie attributes can be specified, as per the example below.
These attributes are inserted into the cookie as is, and are not interpreted by
Apache. Ensure that your attributes are defined correctly as per the cookie specification.
