Re: Re: double startup ?

Thank your for your fast answer

1) Yes, I'm balancing on my localhost just for tests

2) I'm just using "handler" in my hook module. Indeed, $r->is_initial_req g=
ave me some informations : the initial HTTP requests are not any more "init=
ial" whith mod_backhand. In fact, I use this information in order to set Se=
ssion Id when the client asks the Web Application for the first time. So I =
try to rewrite my hook module but the double call is still here : a first s=
ession id is created but not used, then a second session id is created and =
used (unused means here that $r->header_out(Location =3D> + return HTTP_MOV=
ED_TEMPORARILY() is not effective)


It is likely because my "mod_perl servlet" is not compatible with mod_backh=
and (maybe because of the strange way I manage session : I rewrite the init=
ial URL http://www.foo.com/my_page in http://www.foo.com/id_session/my_page=
 and I'm using Apache::Session::File or Apache::Session::Oracle). It's a pi=
ty because mod_backhand is exactly what I need.

Any help, of course, is much appreciated
