Greetings all.

This is my first visit.  I have just discovered Albatross, and like many of 
you (probably), it took a good week for the drooling to completely stop.  
What a great design!

And now for my first question... Any way to support cookies?  (I mean, 
actual site cookies for long-term persistence, beyond storing session IDs.)  
My best guess at the moment is to take what I need from the (CGI, 
mod_python, etc.) Request object and tweak it before wrapping it in the 
albatross Request, because I don't seem to be able to find it after that.  
Maybe I'm missing something dumb and obvious.

Thanks for any help.

Fred

Have a look at how Albatross does it's cookie handling - the
SessionCookieMixin class in albatross/session.py.

SessionCookieMixin._set_sesid_cookie() uses set_header - when adding
another cookie, you should use add_header (append) rather than set_header
(which will overwrite the cookie set by _set_sesid_cookie().

Hope this gives you some ideas.

How to configure Albatross auth with existing LDAP ?
I know that it is possible to configure Apache to use LDAP, also it is
possible to use LDAP directly in python using python-ldap. What is
recommended way to handle authorization/authentification in web
application with LDAP?
