http-session 0.2

http_session is the foundation of a session management system. The provided prototypes allow implementations using a wide array of backends.

http_session relies on three components:

The “store” prototyped in http_session.meta.Store represents a store handling sessions. This store knows how to retrieve, persist, clear or create sessions, using their SID.

The “session” implemented in http_session.session.Session represents the session iself. It is discriminated by its sid and is able to set and get key/value pairs and track the modifications and accesses.

The “manager” oversees the store and session, in order to interface them with the browser. It is mainly used as a SID policy and middleware. A functional implementation using secure cookies is provided in http_session.cookie.SignedCookieManager.
