Ch3 in book: session_filter vs sessionFilter

[Magnus]

It might be a well-known issue, but I couldn't find any mention of it
here. Ch3 of the book describes how to use sessions. The recipe is

cherrypy.config.update({'session_filter.on' : True})

That will result in a "500 Internal Error" page because of a
SessionNotEnabledError. The line should read

cherrypy.config.update({'sessionFilter.on' : True})

With some pointers I'd be happy to provide a diff for the book...

Are you sure you're looking at the right version of the book for ?
(corresponding to the CP version that you use)

No, I wasn't. I followed a link Google gave me, so I didn't pay
attention to the 'trunk' in the URL. I should have used the 2.1.0
version.

Does this happen a lot?
I bet it's a nice thing for the authors of the book to have the trunk
published, but it is a possible cause of confusion as well.

im using CP 2.1.1 and
cherrypy.config.update({'session_filter.on' : True}) -- doesnt work
cherrypy.config.update({'sessionFilter.on' : True}) -- does

i tried in CP 2.1 and its the same

i think its good idea to po point out which versions work which way
becouse its very nasty error and difficult to spot
