Can't you send login information through an HTTP POST? With each update, you just need to send identification information that is unique to the particular user (perhaps a hashed password) and match it to an existing database. You don't need to send the ip from the client, since you can get it from the server. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
