Well, as far as "least-intrusive", CC loses some points by not being compatible with some of the user folders that do their own cookie auth, although that's arguably not CC's fault.
Which makes me think of another point. I haven't used Zope 2.5.1 yet, but I understand from some of the traffic on the mailinglists that some have wanted to disable the session tracking/session management beause it interferes with the solutions they allready use for session tracking.
And now there is a possible inclusion of another product (CC) that might conflict with other products' cookie functionality.
Hmm. I didn't get an answer right now (well i don't find the question again too) if the cookie crumbler would interfere subfolders (distor through acquisition) or would only be active on a "sibling" userfolder, which he is "watching". In the case he would interfere the whole system if its installed at root level, i will agree to you completely that it shouldn't be that intrusive, in the other case i would say it's an acceptable option because the cookie crumbler would only be installed by default if the standard userfolder is instanciate (as i imagine this right now ...)
Instead of locking up users with a particular implementation of a solution to a general problem, why not present an API for a) session management and b) cookie management, and then present default products that use these API's to provide solutions? This way it will not be hard to replace both session management and cookie management with other products.
Any one else think that this might be a worthwhile idea? If so, I can offer time and effort and my limited knowledge of zope to make this possible.
cool in either case of the situation i think.
