Middleware for running django on multiple ports

multiPort.py

from django.conf import settings


class MultiPortMiddleware(object):
    """
    Middleware changes the SESSION_COOKIE_NAME to use the current port in the name
    """

    def process_request(self, request):
        settings.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = 'sessionid' + request.META['SERVER_PORT']
        return None

Add this as the first entry in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, or at least before django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware and django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware.

This is changing cookie name globally, not in a per-request basis. May be ok if the app accepts requests through a single port only.

An alternative that only change the cookie name used in the middleware, without modifying any global setting (which may have side effects).

Thanks @MonsieurV, that solution looks better. Updating a global setting in each request was clearly not a good idea!
