Re: [help-cgicc] session management

[Alexander J. Oss]

May I recommend that if you add in session management, you create an
interface class with an overrideable factory that by default provides your
default implementation?  If someone is writing CGI applications and needs
session management, they'll likely want to override what you provide (e.g.
in my case a SQL Server-backed session data store, and a simple
session-identifying cookie).  Some applications rely on query string session
identifiers, too, to avoid cookie incompatibilities/unavailability.

Session management really exceeds the CGI mandate.  Perhaps session
management should be part of FastCGI?

I've actually been thinking about adding session support to cgicc- I've
been doing a lot of PHP programming and am very impressed with the way
it handles sessions.  I was thinking of a simple file-backed system with
the session ID in a cookie.
