Jeremy, Why re-invent the wheel? OpenACS already does this and much more and it's all open source. Take a look at www.openacs.org for more code than you can shake a stick at!

Please forgive my ignorance, But can someone point me in a direction for user authentication with AOL server? I understand two methods, but not certain how to make it all glue together. The first method I know is http authentication which will pop up a dialog box and ask the user for their information. I would like to try to avoid this because it's not quite as user friendly as having a login form. The second method is using cookies. I can handle this, but ensuring that the cookie is read for all .adp requests, that it is available in all my tcl methods, in the included adp_ files, etc... that is confusing me a little. I am certian their are other ways as well. Can anyone give me a little info or point me to an information source on this subject? Thanks, Jeremy I.
