 Framework Support
 -----------------
 
-Currently, BaseHTTPRequestHandler (via BaseHTTPServer in the standard library),
-CGI, Jython/Java Servlet API, mod_python, Twisted and Webware are supported.
-Each framework has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, but the idea is that
-deployment concerns can be considered separately from the implementation of
-application functionality. Consult the NOTES.txt files in each framework's
-subdirectory of the docs directory for some notes on how applications may be run
-in each environment.

 Cookie objects need defining strictly, especially since the standard library
 Cookie object behaves differently to mod_python (and possibly Webware) Cookie
 objects. Moreover, the set_cookie_value method needs to provide access to the
 usual cookie parameters as supported by the frameworks.
