Re: HTTP Session package

[Charles Darcy <charlie@mullum.com.au>]

    My thanks for each your replys.

    I've had a look at AWS and it seems ideal, one might even say 'aws-ome'

    I've downloaded and built the package, and I'll try it out tonight.

    Once again, thanks for the help.


regards,

Charles.
