Hi Niphlod, I didn't want to use web2py features and thus auth as an object wouldn't be available to me.
I finally did this, I changed wsgihandler.py so that : If url is base_url or base_url+"/", I check the cookies. If cookies say, the user is logged in then I redirect him to my required controller using a 301 redirect, else I display the html contents. This way, I can significantly improve speed for my login page as I would now just cache the contents using memcache. - abhishek On Saturday, 9 February 2013 00:55:00 UTC+5:30, Niphlod wrote: > > if auth.user_id . > > On Friday, February 8, 2013 6:52:13 PM UTC+1, Abhishek Gupta wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I have a website running on web2py.
