Greetings... I've rewritten a authentication handler I had written in mod_perl in mod_python. The handler does not use basic auth for authentication. It uses it's own html form and then a cookie gets set which is checked by the access handler. This is a generic authentication handler which I use to control access to a number of different applications. Most of those applications don't need req.connection.user (they look at the cookie) but today I tried to migrate one that does. Since req.connection.user is read only I can't make things work. In mod_perl one simply assigns to that variable. Is there any reason why req.connection.user can't be made read/write? Thanks for any suggestions... Miguel C.
