1.4 -Session Support in WebStack
1.5 ----------------------------
1.6 -
1.7 -Various frameworks do not support sessions. In order to provide primitive
1.8 -support for sessions within WebStack upon such frameworks, the
1.9 -WebStack.Helpers.Session module is used to provide a simple file-based session
1.10 -store. It is necessary to create a directory called WebStack-sessions in a
1.11 -particular location for the session store to function, and the location depends
1.12 -on the framework as summarised in the following table.
1.13 -
1.14 -Framework Location
1.15 ---------- --------
1.16 -BaseHTTPRequestHandler The directory where the server is run.
1.17 -CGI The directory where the handler resides.
1.18 -mod_python The server root (eg. /usr/local/apache2).
1.19 -Twisted The directory where the server is run.
1.20 -
1.21 -Note that the WebStack-sessions directory must have the appropriate ownership
1.22 -and privileges necessary for the server/framework to write session files into
1.23 -it.

1.25 -Unsupported Frameworks and Framework Issues
1.26 --------------------------------------------
1.27 -
1.28 -Webware 0.8.1 has problems creating sessions and is therefore not supported.
1.29 -Webware releases later than 0.8.1 (at least until the 2004-02-06 CVS snapshot
1.30 -used for testing) do not support session detection or expiry correctly.
