[melbourne-pug] CGI question

[Tennessee Leeuwenburg]

Obviously you've thought about it, but I would be inclined to think it 
wasn't really being set. Perhaps the particular directory you have isn't 
triggering a log-on?

You could try double-checking with php, perl or another language to 
double check.

Using a cookie is certainly another way around session tracking.

If you use a static html file, are you prompted to log-in before viewing 
the page? i.e. are you sure that the particular file/directory you are 
accessing requires a log-on?

Cheers,
