This file provides the +CGI::Session+ class, which provides session 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.
See the documentation to the +CGI::Session+ class for more details and examples of usage. See cgi.rb for the CGI class itself.
