Transport Service

The standard transport service uses cookies to read / write sessions. The available options that can be set when creating a new transport service are:

// Options defines the behavior of the transport service
type Options struct {
	CookieName string
	CookiePath string
	HTTPOnly   bool
	Secure     bool
}

A transport service can be created by calling the New function: seshTransport := transport.New(transport.Options{})

If you'd like to define your own transport service, it's as easy as implementing the methods of the transport interface. Say that you'd like to transport hashed sessionID's in the header X-Session-Token, for example:

type HeaderTransport struct {
}

func (h *HeaderTransport) SetSessionOnResponse(session string, userSession *user.Session, w http.ResponseWriter) error {
    w.Header().Set("X-Session-Token", session)
    return nil
}

func (h *HeaderTransport) DeleteSessionFromResponse(w http.ResponseWriter) error {
    w.Header().Del("X-Session-Token")
    return nil
}

func (h *HeaderTransport) FetchSessionIDFromRequest(r *http.Request) (string, error) {
    return r.Header.Get("X-Session-Token"), nil
}

...

// Then use your custom defined struct and methods when defining the sessions service
seshTransport := &HeaderTransport{}

sesh = sessions.New(seshStore, seshAuth, seshTransport, sessions.Options{})
