By the way, see a correction (in bold letters) in my previous message (these strings, instead of "this string") Err... I thought that I knew what cookies and session meant, but I am not so sure right now (for me session was always stored in server, using * "session.name"* in web2py... cookies are stored in user browser... and I am not very sure of how to use them, I think they are set using response.cookies and I can get them using request.cookies.value['name']). Anyway as session are stored in server I was thinking "ok, maybe is better to use cookies and not store anything in server". This is my main question. As I said I'm storing about 4 strings in 4 sessions variables. I guess this is just a little storage and with a bit of luck I won't need to care too much, uh? > > >> >> I see you talk about 20 instances of web2py.
