Ditto. The fact that cgicc does not support 'sessions' keeps me from using cgicc for anything serious; and hacking in one's own session mechanism is a lot of work considering that it comes baked-in with nearly every competing technology.
cgicc is great for extending an application that needs a simple web/http/html interface; for developing serious web applications requiring session management you may want to look at using another tool. - e --- "Vlad D.
