Please tell me if I'm repeating other posts, but
In version four will Snitz still use cookies, I'm presuming yes, otherwise what I'm about to say could also be applied to session and application variables.
I recently wrote a mod to encrypt the cookies snitz sends to it's users, and found it VERY time consuming replacing all the:
StrSomeValue = request.cookies(strSomeStr&"User")("SomeSection")
with my code of:
StrSomeValue = somecookiefunction("SomeSection")
now, my suggestion is to pass all cookie functions through a 'dummy' function, that could be changed with a couple lines of asp to dramatically alter the functionality of the function.
The benifits of this would be two fold,
firstly, as I stated above you could add encryption or something the the values written to the cookies.
Secondly, I heard there was some EU law floating around that basically read as banning cookies, if this was the case this 'dummy' function could be used to change Snitz from using cookies to something else.
I'm guessing this would have a speed impact, but it may be worth it.
