I really like the paste.auth.cookie module, but I have a few questions:
1. This is less important, but why wasn't the old school Cookie module
used instead of constructing the cookie by hand?
2. I need to set the domain of the cookie, but there isn't a way.
This relates slightly to question 1. I can think of many ways to
architect this including:
a) Setup the AuthCookieHandler class so that it can be subclassed
easily. This would involve breaking up the response_hook a little
bit.
b) paste.auth.cookie.AuthCookieHandler could look for a callable in
environ that is used to do some post processing of the cookie.
Right now, I don't see any other options than copying and modifying
the whole module.
3. I'm using Pylons, and I have the AuthCookieHandler installed in my
pipeline like this:
PylonsApp
...
httpexceptions.make_middleware
AuthCookieHandler
ErrorHandler
...
I'm initializing via:
# Setup paste.auth.cookie. Putting it here is perfect because
# redirects still get cookies, but exceptions still get handled.
app = AuthCookieHandler(app,
cookie_name=app_conf['acctmgr_cookie_name'],
secret=app_conf['acctmgr_secret'])
Unfortunately, putting it here *is not* perfect, because I see in my logs:

=================================================================
This happens whenever I do something like "abort(404)" in my code. I
think it has to do with Paste doing another "subrequest". I think the
auth.cookie code is surprised to see the same environ again. I don't
understand where in the pipeline I should put the auth.cookie
middleware so that I don't have this problem. I didn't see any
mention in the docs where I should put it.
Thanks for the code and all your help!
Best Regards,
