Memcached*
Our $_SESSION simply lives in memcached.
So we could do
$fake_session = $wgMemc->get( wfMemcKey( 'session', $session_id ) ) ;
$fake_session["upload_ok"] = true;
$wgMemc->set( wfMemcKey( 'session', $session_id ), $fake_session, 3600 ) ;
This means that if a memcached server goes down, the information will
be lost. The database is the correct place to put this. (Also the
correct place to put sessions, for that matter . . .)
