Well . . .

I don't want to serve statically cached html content to a logged in 
frontend user.

A page may contain elements that are only displayed to a logged in user. 
The menu on a page may be different if a user is logged in.

The content that the anonymous user sees can be cached fine. But we 
cannot server the same content to the logged in user.

The moment I need to decide if a user is logged in or not, I am not in 
TYPO3 but in mod_rewrite. So the choice has to be made there and then.

So, as I figured, I will need to set my own cookie for that, thank's Joey.

Kind regards,
