-It is very easy to stop the password being sniffed, you just use https:// for cgiurl
-(with appropriately configure server of course), and disallow access to the cgiscript
-over http.
-
-However the cookie is still sent for all requests, meaning that it could be stolen.
-I don't know quite how well CGI::Session defends against this, but the best it could
-do is probably tie it to an IP address, but that still leaves room for abuse.
-
-I have created a patch that adds a config option sslcookie, which causes the
-cookie to have it's secure property set. This means that it is only sent over SSL.
-So if you can configure apache to do what you want, you only have to change two options
-(cgiurl and sslcookie) to encrypt all authentication data.
-
-The disadvantage is that if someone were to activate it while using http:// I think it
-would mean they couldn't log in, as the browser would never offer the cookie.
-I think I have made the documentation clear enough on this point.
