Fix session.py to allow suppression of the cookie#737
Merged
Conversation
There are often endpoints/targets in your web.py app where you do not want to use sessions and most importantly, you do not want a Set-Cookie header sent with the response. The Set-Cookie header invalidates your Cache-Control directives when you are caching your responses with many CDNs. This PR allows you to do session.no_cookie=True in your handler to suppress the session cookie when you do not want it.

yep, it could certainly be send_cookie = True with the two booleans reversed. I mean, it's only a 2 line patch so whatever you prefer as maintainers! |

Yes, please. Also please run the code thru psf/black so the tests pass. |
