Specifically: I am trying to do the CAS authentification with signed cookies. For CAS I need to redirect unauthenticated client to auth server, and set a cookie when it returns back with ticket. It would be perfectly possible to do using mod_ath_tkt but I wanted to avoid quadruple redirect from mod_auth_tkt to my login page from there to CAS server, back to login page and back to the page client wanted at first.
There is "official" mod_auth_cas: about 3000 lines of C code that uses server side storage for cookies (files in temp directory) and if it keeps up with the quality of the code of "official" python library that almost made me vomit I would like to avoid it if it can be done in 30 lines of python (less if existing middleware is used) using signed cookies (no server side storage). Would setting the environment variable from the hook be so complicated as well? (mod_fastcgi auth handler that I looked into first can do it but it can not redirect either).
