All;
We have need to create a web site with a public area andan area only for users with a login/passwd.
I want to also manage the logged in pages with respect to basic security such as a timeout feature that forces a re-login and dis-allowing non-logged in users from visiting a specific url in the users area without first logging in.
I want to keep it real simple and I don't want to write a boatload of cgi code that checks credentials every single time a link within the users area is clicked if possible.
Also, it's preferrable to use cgi but I'm open to something else if the ease of development/implementation is worth it.
Have a bit more of a think about what you want to do then peruse freshmeat.net and sf.net for pre-existing code that does somewhat what you want to do.
If it comes to cutting code, PHP and Java (JSP) are to be preferred over CGI.
