Re: [Zope] Preserving Settings during a user's session

Here's a better explanation, I hope...

1. User connects to a server for the first time, requesting a URL:

http://www.megacorp.com/support/

2. The Zope system realises that the REQUEST object doesn't have a SessionID attribute, and creates one (a SessionID) and sends a redirect to load:

http://www.megacorp.com/42/support/

where 42 is the SessionID.

3. From then on the SessionID is stripped out of hte URL path, placed in the REQUEST object, and the rest of the path traversed, with the sessionID available to all objects thru the REQUEST object.

42 maps to a temp object in the ODB right? and Why strip the ID out of the URL?
