In the CAF we we do preserve the POSTed form after a relogin.

And you're right that a limitation with this approach is that file
uploads don't survive this process.

I'd like to find a good way of handling this, but it may turn out to be
more trouble than it's worth.

Also, we do indeed plan to refactor the CAF to use both CAP::Session and
CAP::Authentication.  I haven't had time to tackle this project yet - 
I've been crazy busy at $dayjob converting a huge legacy app into 
CGI::Application - fun!.
