Middleware for communicating with Flash Player via Flashticle and Django.

Setup a view at /gateway/math/multiply like so:

def multiply(request, m1, m2): return m1 * m2

Then in your Flex/Flash app you call "math.multiply" on a NetConnection pointing to http://domain.com/gateway/

Does not yet support authentication.

Seems to be very interesting. When do you plan to add auth support?
