Hi folks,
I noticed something when submitting a login form, where the form
variables would make their way into Values space.
This happened whether or not the form action was "return" (should
update variables) or "back" (don't update variables).
The culprit lies in this code:
if ($status = $user->login(%options) ) {
::update_user();
}
line 2955 of UserDB.pm.
The update_user() sub is in Dispatch.pm, and it effectively adds items
to the cart and then updates values with its update_values() sub.
This has all been in the code since before CVS was added. :-)
This causes the following form variables to go to Values space:
mv_session_id
mv_username
mv_form_charset
destination
mv_form_profile
mv_action
which seems wrong to me.
The update_user() sub is used other places in the code, so the rational
solution to me seems to be to stop calling it upon login in UserDB.pm.
Or else just live with it, if it is OK to have these in Values.
Is this an issue?
Thanks,
Josh
