[Zope] Sessions needed

[TFE MMS JARVIS JOHN]

It might not satisfy all of your wishes, but...
You could use the CookieCutter to do this if you're fine with storing
pickled information
in cookies. Basically, it pickles a dictionary of objects into a cookie and
provides an 
easy-to-use interface for settings and programming.
My application involves some complex queries and saves the user's search
selections on the client so they don't have to enter them with each session.

I quickly ran into the cookie number limit and needed a way to consolidate
the 
information into a single cookie. I didn't want to go all the way building a
database 
to store the data. 
You can download it from the Zope contributed products page.

BTW, there is also a version of the CookieCutter with MD5 checksums for
security added by Mark Hays. I got really busy and never updated the version
on the 
Zope Contrib page. I owe Mark an apology for that. Sorry!
If it's ok with the DC guys, should I post it separately? I don't know how
this is 
usually done.

Anyway, give it a lookover--it's an easy read ;^)
