Re: [cgiapp] ANNOUNCE: CGI::Application::Framework (pre-release)

[Jeff MacDonald <suppressed>]

Suggestion:

Make this so that a runmode can be run with or without authentication.
For example, I wrote a system to book swimming pool maintenance.

Users on the public side don't need to login to make a reservation.
However the pool company does need to login.

So what I did was made a runmode called 'viewmonth' and 'a_viewmonth'
to list booked dates. If the run mode is prefixed iwth a_ then the
user must be authenticated or is auto forwarded to a login screen.

This allows me to use the same code to render 2 pages. Maybe for the
future of CAF you could add the ability of "logged in" to be optional
for a runmode.

Jeff.
