[Zope-dev] Copy, Cut and Cookies: a CopySupport.py question

[Jeff Sasmor]

To someone with perhaps more ZZen than
myself ....

I am trying to understand CopySupport.py -

It seems that objects that are cut or copied are
stored in a cookie on the client. 


I could see how this would be easier than trying 
to associate some stored data item on the server
with a particular client browser, but it also seems
somewhat  inefficient (esp. as regards upload and 
download times from the client) 
unless the object is relatively small in size 
and I also wonder if this scheme would break
down completely for a big object, say 
something a few MB in size. 


Am I missing something ?  Or maybe this is the only
reasonably sane way to do it.

TIA
