Module stick/middleware/session
This module provides middleware for HTTP sessions.
It adds a session property to the request object that allows to store
arbitrary data on on a per-visitor basis.
The default session implementation is based on Java Servlet sessions.
This can be overridden by setting the app.session.impl property to an
alternative session constructor.
app.session.impl = MySession;The session constructor will be called with the request object as only argument when the session is first accessed.
