Johan,

I did some research into the issue and I actually found a couple of
bugs.  When I went to the non-index.php version of the paths (using
mod_rewrite), it screwed up the handling of the session cookie path.=20
I was able to put in a nice resolution for that.  I also realized that
checks for a valid token were not working since the session had not
been started, so I also fixed that problem.  Finally, it appears that
the web server on sourceforge where golflog is hosted has some serious
file read problems, so the session data gets dropped randomly (I don't
experience this on any of my other test servers).  So I went ahead and
disabled the check for a valid form token in the demo, but it should
work in the next version of the golflog package (0.9.8).

All of this will be fixed in 0.9.8 and available in CVS shortly.

/dan

p.s. There also seems to be a mysql problem on the sourceforge server
that does not involve the golflog application.  Perhaps it is time to
host the demo on mojavelinux.com ;)
