sessions

gorilla/sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends. The key features are Simple API: use it as an easy way to set signed (and optionally encrypted) cookies. Built-in backends to store sessions in cookies or the filesystem. Flash messages: session values that last until read. A convenient way to switch session persistency (aka "remember me") and set other attributes. Mechanism to rotate authentication and encryption keys. Multiple sessions per request, even using different backends. Interfaces and infrastructure for custom session backends: sessions from different stores can be retrieved and batch-saved using a common API. First we initialize a session store calling NewCookieStore() and passing a secret key used to authenticate the session.
