Of course this is possible, but I feel it should be > better integrated inside the AuthCookie class... I was checking out Webware when I wrote AuthCookies. Webware (at that time about v0.6) has its own cookie implementation, also based on SmartCookie, IIRC, but with more methods. Because I wasn't sure how to make them all play nicely, I did not attempt to provide a public interface to AuthCookie's underlying cookie implementation. (At least, this is how I remember it. ;-) Do feel free to add public methods to AuthCookie. TIA for your patch! ;-) > Just a few thought for discussions, however.
