[rt-users] RT 3.6 requires two or three logins with firefox and IE

[Patterson, Craig]

As I'm about to apply this patch, I have one question.  Will the patch
be implemented in the next release of RT? I'm on 3.6.4 with no plans of
upgrading in the near future, so basically, what I'm asking is, should I
move the SetupSessionCookie file to my local directory, or just apply it
to the version in the shared folder?  I don't want to only apply it in
the shared folder, forget about it, only to have that issue come up the
next time I upgrade.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello.

Considering that currently I'm the Apache::Session maintainer... :)

Apache::Session from 1.83 checks file lock failures, so I saw that
someone posted error logs here.

By default Apache::Session does read lock and escalates to write lock
when necessary. 'Transaction' does write lock at session start. This
has disadvantages, it will require other processes to wait before this
process will finish. Ideally, 'Transaction' should be only for
processes that will modify session data.
