session / cookies ??

[Shannon Cruey]

Hey all, this is a simple call for clarification.

BTW thanks to your recent answers on my other question, I've decided on apache/mod_wsgi for my production environment.  Setup was pretty easy, and it's up and running.

Prior to this project, I came from ASP.NET where "session" is highly isolated and quite powerful.  I'm learning that session here is quite different.

I just noticed this while testing.  It's a common test scenario for me to open two browser tabs and log in to my application in both - one as a user and the other as administrator.

Yeah... that didn't work.

I suspect this is a result of web.py using cookies for session? And those cookies being browser wide.  Can someone please clarify this?

Is there a way to isolate session to a "real" session - meaning one browser window?  If not, I'll work around it... I'd just like to understand.

Cheers...
S

Thar's a very good question...
I've tested here and got same behavior.
When I tested opening two different browsers, I got two sessions.
