Introduction

This release contains a few improvements and fixes, and it adds some more configuration options.

New Features

• New Application.config settings SessionCookiePath, SessionStoreDir, CacheDir and AddressFiles.
• The AutoReloadingAppServer now supports not only python-fam, but also python-gamin.

Improvements and Refinements

• Assume root path as the servlet path if the URL has been completely rewritten by the web server.
• Added optional parameter to HTTPRequest.serverURL() for getting canonical hostnames, False by default.
• Fixed the HTTPRequest.previousURI() method and added a HTTPRequest.previousContextName() method.
• Don't install the MKBrowser context automagically. It is now part of the default configuration where it can be removed.
• The appointment of the default context (if none was specified) was not deterministic. When ambiguous, we now refuse the temptation to guess, raising an error condition instead.
• Webware did not shut down cleanly when AutoReloadingAppServer or ThreadedAppServer could not be properly initialized. The error handling here is now much better.

Security

• Implemented HTTPRequest.isSecure() method.
• Use secure session cookies for HTTPS connections. This is configurable with the Application.config setting SecureSessionCookie which is True by default. (Suggested by Adam Kerrison.)

Bugfixes

• Deletion of cookies could lead to problems due to a wrong cookie path (report and fix by Adam Kerrison).
• Fixed a bug concerning servlet reuse (reported by Andrew Butash), adding a Servlet._busy attribute.
