Hello, we have a custom user tracker cookie which is currently Base64 encoded and gets tacked along to each request in the access log.
We now have a new requirement to store the decoded value in the access log instead.
So cookie gets written to the user's browser encoded, but when a user makes a new request, the cookie needs to be read, Base64 decoded before being written to the access log.
We are on Apache 2.2.x
To my surprise, after spending quite a few hours on google and apache docs, there is no way of achieving something so trivial within Apache or I am nuts and overlooking something so basic.
I do see that SSI includes a way to set a base64 encoded/decoded variable. But what I need is SetEnv or Mod_Rewrite to be able to read and base64 decode a env (cookie) variable.
There is an open source mod_setenvifplus option but mgmt will not approve it.
Thank you for your help.
