title: Update Django session variable in javascript?
body: <p>I want to update a Django session variable following a Javascript event (well, actually jQuery).</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to do this via a POST request?</p>
  
  <p>Or can Javascript and Django share session variables in some clever way, in which case can I update the session variables direct from jQuery? I'm a bit hazy on the details. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
