Thanks Chris. The convention in the other frameworks that I've used is
that the message is 'flashed' when handling the update from a post, and
displayed after the redirect, to avoid the problem when a user hits
resend after a post that should not occur twice. So usually the flash
helper is a simple utility to set, read, and wipe a session variable or
cookie. I guess bfg is not making any assumptions about session vars or
cookies though?
If you are thinking of adding such a thing to bfg, I'll hold off on my
own ( or use a really crappy one ). Can we set a simple cookie with
webob maybe as an ultralight version that doesn't depend on a particular
method of storing session vars?
thanks
