Session Variables are not maintained across request while using gorilla sessions web toolkit. When I start the server and type localhost:8100/ page is directed to login.html since session values do not exist.After I login I set the session variable in the store and the page is redirected to home.html. But when I open a new tab and type localhost:8100/ the page should be directed to home.html using already stored session variables, but the page is instead redirected to login.html. Following is the code.
package main
import (
"crypto/md5"
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"

"github.com/gorilla/mux"
"github.com/gorilla/sessions"

"time"
)
var store = sessions.NewCookieStore([]byte("something-very-secret"))
var router = mux.NewRouter()
func init() {
store.Options = &sessions.Options{
Domain: "localhost",
Path: "/",
MaxAge: 3600 * 1, // 1 hour
HttpOnly: true,
}
}
func main() {
//session handling
router.HandleFunc("/", SessionHandler)
router.HandleFunc("/signIn", SignInHandler)
router.HandleFunc("/signUp", SignUpHandler)
router.HandleFunc("/logOut", LogOutHandler)
http.Handle("/", router)
http.ListenAndServe(":8100", nil)
}
//handler for signIn
func SignInHandler(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
email := req.FormValue("email")
password := req.FormValue("password")
//Generate hash of password
hasher := md5.New()
hasher.Write([]byte(password))
encrypted_password := hex.EncodeToString(hasher.Sum(nil))
//cassandra connection
cluster := gocql.NewCluster("localhost")
cluster.Keyspace = "gbuy"
cluster.DefaultPort = 9042
cluster.Consistency = gocql.Quorum
session, _ := cluster.CreateSession()
defer session.Close()
//select query
var firstname string
stmt := "SELECT firstname FROM USER WHERE email= '" + email + "' and password ='" + encrypted_password + "';"
err := session.Query(stmt).Scan(&firstname)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(res, "failed")
} else {

fmt.Fprintf(res, "failed")
} else {
fmt.Fprintf(res, firstname)
}
}
//store in session variable

// Set some session values.
sessionNew.Values["email"] = email
sessionNew.Values["name"] = firstname
// Save it.

fmt.Println(sessionNew)
}

fmt.Println(stmt)

fmt.Println(session)
if val, ok := session.Values["email"].(string); ok {
// if val is a string
switch val {
case "": {
http.Redirect(res, req, "html/login.html", http.StatusFound) }
default:
http.Redirect(res, req, "html/home.html", http.StatusFound)
}
} else {

http.Redirect(res, req, "html/login.html", http.StatusFound)

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.
