Hi Phillip,

in the handler, you can create an ASP object
and the corresponding Session sub object like

..
$r->dir_config('RequestBinaryRead', 'Off');
my $ASP = Apache::ASP::new('Apache::ASP', $r, $r->filename);
$r->dir_config('RequestBinaryRead', 'On');

my $session = $ASP->Session;
..

[$r = Apache::RequestRec]

I hope, that is what you need..

yes the current session, because $r contains the "session information"
(cookie)

but of course, if the session has expired meanwhile, you will create a new
one,
but to check this you can test for the existence
of a session key after the session "retrievement", that you create before..
(was that clear?)

Helmut,

Your reply sounds perfect! Can you confirm that this will retrieve the
$Session hash pointer currently being used by the user? Essentially, I do
not want to create a new $Session, rather retrieve information from the
one currently in use.

I hope I have made myself clear - and sorry if I mislead you.

Phil.
