[mod_python] Sessions function curiously in Internet Explorer

The code below works fine for me with IE 6.0 using Crossover office. 
(Actually I made one small change to explicitly set req.content_type = 
'text/plain').

As an aside you don't need to call sess.load(). load() is automatically 
called when you create the session object if valid session data exists.
