-# support for CGI scripts.  A session is a sequence of HTTP requests
-# and responses linked together and associated with a single client.
-# Information associated with the session is stored
-# on the server between requests.  A session id is passed between client
-# and server with every request and response, transparently
-# to the user.  This adds state information to the otherwise stateless
-# HTTP request/response protocol.
