I have call() there, but I'm curious about your use of session.forget() Why is this needed.
Nice idea on using the auth.is_logged_in() inside the service procedure. That is a nice approach to authenticate the service. I was having some problems so solved the problem with a temp token. However, I've just upgrade due to a bug, so I'll retry the authentication.
