... but... the whole point is that "successful check for the cookie"
usually requires some sort of database connection, because usually the link
between session cookie and user credentials is stored in a SQL database.
and remember that on each and every single HTTP request, you have _no_ idea
who they are (except via that cookie).
so, yah, you _could_ use some random person's credentials to connect to the
database, just to get to the table storing the link between cookies and the
_real_ credentials but that's like.. eughh.
and what happens when there is nobody logged in?? which credentials do you
use then?? because there aren't any!!
it's a complete nightmare, one _entirely_ of your own making :)
fortunately i'm done already with the cooperative multitasking http server.
