Yes. It may also be possible to use ctypes instead of ap_swig_py, have never sat down and worked out steps for doing that though. You could also write a custom Python C extension module as well which takes apache.request_rec and does what is required. Anyway, the reason you can't do it with mod_wsgi alone at moment is because of: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=69 If this was done, you could check for inbound cookie in authentication handler. The outbound cookie would then be set in WSGI middleware wrapper around the WSGI application itself in the WSGI script file. If necessary, the WSGI middleware wrapper would use REMOTE_USER from environ to identify user. Graham >> > Have you thought about the problem from another angle?
