Version 1.2 of gaeutilities is now available. This release includes and important bugfix for session deletion and is recommended for all users. This release also introduces new functionality for session, the ability to set the writer. The options are "datastore" (default) and "cookie". When you set the writer to cookie, nothing is saved server side, and there is no session token validation, increasing performance at the risk of security. The django-middleware has been updated to take advantage of this functionality. By default, django will use the cookie writer, thus decreasing the CPU overhead for page views on your system. However, on login, you can call request.session.save() which will move the session to a datastore based version. Further requests made by the user will have their session data saved in the datastore, securing your user data from sniffing attacks. This is made possible by a new class method check_token (Session.check_token()) which checks to see if a session token exists for the user, and if so validates it. For more information on how to use the new session functionality, see: http://gaeutilities.appspot.com/ This change will impact users of the django-middleware, who will need to call request.session.save() before auth.login(). However, all other use cases of session will not be impacted, as the default is the datastore backed sessions. However you're encouraged to take advantage of cookie writer for anonymous requests in order to maximize performance if you're loading session on every request. Note: I'm interested in any sites currently using gaeutilities as well as feedback as to why you are using the library, or why not. I've not gotten much feedback during the course of the project but have seen a lot of downloads. I'm curious as to how people are using the utilities. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
