the only issue as far as I am concerned is when the same user accesses the same app under the same web2py installation from the same browser using two different ports at the same time. In this case I would like to have two different sessions, but this cannot be done. Some discussion on the topic here:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2806 Another reason this is not feasible it that the server may be behind a proxy and may not know which port the client sees.
