Hey Ben,

I'm starting to get the hang of this.  However, I'm getting None back
for my get_by_id(sessionID) call.  My hunch is that the reason is
something else you stated: I'm not actually passing the sessionID, as
I'd assumed.  I'm passing a long hex string (len is 72).  Perhaps this
is the hash that you'd mentioned?   Re-reading the swfupload docs,
it's passing the contents of the cookie as a param.

Also, I'm breaking on this line:
pylons.request.environ['pylons.pylons']  it's saying no such key...
hmmm

I put the code you specified in the __before__ method of my
basecontroller, because you said it had to come as early as
possible...

Getting closer...!

-Kevin
