[Chameleon] Session parameters...

[Mike Leahy]

Paul,

I did try this...I loaded one of the samples as-is with the sid for a session 
that had just been created moments before in the URL.  The map loads fine, 
except that the 'session expired' message appears.  

In order to make sure the structure compatible, I've incorporated chameleon's 
session.php script into the site I'm developing, so the session structure is 
identical.  When I load one of the chameleon samples using sid=session name, 
it appears to work fine (i.e., it uses the correct session save path and 
file), but I still get the message "Your session has expired" at the top of 
the viewer.  I'm not quite sure how to fix this - would anyone know how I 
might get chameleon to recognize that the session is not actually expired?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

you could just try appending sid=<session id> to the url.  Chameleon 
will automatically try to use this session id.  However, I'm not 
entirely sure that it is safe to do this because Chameleon may not 
initialize a bunch of stuff that it needs to do when the session is 
first started.

The other issue would be compatibility of the session structure, but 
Chameleon does use it's own session handler that uses a directory 
already, so it may just work.
