Well, if the API expects JSON, then it can't require anything that isn't representable in JSON. If the API doesn't take JSON directly, then you obviously have the control to do what needs to be done client side. There isn't anything more to it, it just doesn't make sense to hack simplejson so that it doesn't produce JSON anymore. If you need to produce something that isn't JSON, then you're doing something wrong or you've chosen the wrong tools. I'm sure there are plenty of solutions to forcing logout that don't require ugly tricks... but that's not what we're talking about. -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
