writing a module to check validity of user sessions

[Mauro Stettler]

thanks for the tip, the combination with mod_eval works great.

i modified my module a little and use it in combination with mod_eval
to create a variable in the nginx config file that contains the
authentication status of a user.

my colleague alvaro videla wrote a little python server which can give
me the authentication status of a user based on the php session cookie
which i am passing to him using the check_session module:

thats cool because we can now, using this variable in the nginx
config, cache pages in memcache which are specific to an
authentication level. thats going to save us a lot of cpu on our
really have php framework.

i attached my modified module and a test nginx config to the mail.
