Note that for web development, you could also store a log of client responses on the client side and replay that whenever a request is made to get some kind of persistent session. This is only suited for lightweight use cases, of course. I've implemented a small demonstration as part of the "operational" package, it's the WebSessionState.lhs on http://projects.haskell.org/operational/examples.html Regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
