Session strategies for liveCode server

[Alex Tweedly]

The example from splash21 works well for login/registration, etc. - but 
it was written for revserver pre-5.0, so he does his own cookie / local 
data to simulate sessions. Easier, if you can, to use the session 
support in 5.0 - but note that on-rev (at least on loki) does not yet 
support 5.0. (I've had an open suport ticket for 3 weeks asking when/if 
they will upgrade).

And of course, unless you have an ssl certificate, you'll finish up 
sending passwords in cleartext; I've switched over to using facebook 
authentication (server-side) to avoid that; if you want a copy of the 
.lc files to do that, just let me know (they need a bit of tidying, 
otherwise I'd just sent them now :-)
