Thanks, this has been really useful to me.

I did find one problem- URLs with no trailing slash fail with an AttributeError, cos request is a WSGIRequest and has no 'session' attr. This is nasty because it doesn't throw a 500 error.

I've wrapped it in a try block just now till I have time to look at what's going on.

@derek That's probably because django redirects to add the trailing slash, and the session is not available on the redirect. Catching AttributeError and returning the response is a reasonable workaround.
