Sounds good. I would have needed this soon too. :-)

[Zope-dev] Proposal: add form support to zope.session.http.CookieClientIdManager

2008-07-10 Thread Jim Fulton


As it's name implies, the CookieClientIdManager manages HTTP client  
ids using HTTP cookies. Recently, I've found it to be useful to be  
able to get a client id via form data.  The reason is that flash  
programs don't send browser cookies.  This bit me when trying to use  
the YUI uploader, http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/uploader/, which uses  
a flash program to select and upload files.  I'm using session  
authentication and the only way I found to make it possible to upload  
files to protected pages was to pass the client id as form data.  I  
have a custom client id manager that gets the id from form data as  
well as from a cookie.  I propose to merge this with  
CookieClientIdManager.


Any objections?

Jim
