About

  • PURPOSE: for managing web sessions
  • INTERNAL RULES:
    • Get the session cookie. (If no cookie, we're not logged in.)
    • Load the session record indicated by the cookie.
    • Check the session record to make sure it matches the current client.
    • If it does, the session's user ID is logged in; otherwise not.
    • A session record is also created for anonymous users.
