4 The sessionHandlerService

The sessionHandlerservice adds three functions to the CONNECTION object that the top-level component sees.

The three functions are:

getSession(create=0, **cookieParams)
if create is true, will create (and return) a new session (in the cookie, with extra paraters in cookieParams), otherwise will return an existing session, if it exists, otherwise returns None.
getSessionID(create=1)
get session id from cookie, or create it if create is true, otherwise returns None.
removeSession()
kills the session cookie.
