djangoflash.storage.cookie — Cookie-based flash storage

This module provides a cookie-based flash storage backend.

Warning

The actual FlashScope object is sent back to the user in a cookie. Although some encryption is performed to help spot when the flash data is modified by third-parties, this backend should be avoided when sensitive information is stored in the flash.

Warning

Although in general user agents’ cookie support should have no fixed limits, according to RFC-2965, section 5.3, all implementations must support at least 4096 bytes per cookie. So be careful about the amount of data you store in the flash when using this storage backend.
