[Zope] logged in users

[Bjorn Stabell]

It is possible if you define "logged in" as having accessed the website
in the last X minutes.  This is how log analysis tools define "sessions"
anyways, so it should work ok.

You probably don't want to log every time a user make a website request
in the ZODB (slow, makes it bloat), but you could put this "clickstream
log" in a SQL database or on a file.  Alternatively (which I like) you
can store it the servers memory only: fast, but doesn't work across
multiple servers (ZEO).

   HTTP is a stateless protocol, i.e. a server (including Zope) does not
track who is still logged in. There is no such thing as "list of users
logged in".
