Hello all,
I'm new to this list (my first post). I'm currently in a project for SANS certification in which I'm auditing Zope security. I just noticed that every time I log in I get a cookie from the server that has the following info:
Name: tree-s Data: "eJzTiFZ3hANPW/VYHU0ALlYElA"
You know that tree in the left hand frame of the management interface? Well, that cookie represents the state of the tree. See lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py for the cookie handling stuff. It is in the methods encode_seq and encode_str, and the complementary decode_... methods. Please don't post HTML mail to this mailing list. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited
