That Session is a different thing: it's more application framework specific. It's like the ASP Session object, which may don't use and instead implement their own session handling, i.e. user identity and properties container between otherwise stateless HTTP requests.
As convenience, Session could be provided as an optional feature of the web/cgi addon, on par with cookies. But session could be also (1) passed as input field and (2) requires server-side storage. In general, this is an interesting link to see how others do web handling. Interestingly, how they interplay CGI in name and functionality. But then they use "WS" in the name, which immediately is confused with Web Services (not "servers"), so I had to read it twice for both meanings, first time though it did not make much sense. Also, they are partly concerned with the interface between a Python web server and web application. In J CGI, as is used in JHP there is no callable interface, instead the script is loaded directly, if .ijs, or in case of a known extension (.jhp) handler, via the handler. Approach to setting up the "environment", i.e. preprocessing HTTP vars is similar. --- June Kim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe session handling? > > Have a look at wsgi (http://wsgi.org and > http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/webmodules/doc/0.5.3/html_multipage/lib/example-wsgiSession.html). > Good thing about wsgi is once the interface/protocol is clean you can > reuse it in many situations, like cgi, stand-alone server, apache > module and etc. > > 2007/1/14, Oleg Kobchenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Currently CGI is re-implemented in every different ways > > in-place in various J scripts and frameworks. > > > > CGI is proposed to be implemented as a standard > > general framework and addon to serve the needs > > of all other related areas: Web Server, JHP, > > special apps like Forums Search, other protocols > > like FastCGI, etc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
