Session

Signed cookies are used as the session backend to avoid using a database. We therefore must avoid storing non-trivial data in the session, because the browser will be exposed to the data.

Cookies

To be able to test cookies locally add the following to your /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       int.trade.great

Then run the server and visit int.trade.great:8013
