CI bundled captcha plugin

By default, CodeIgniter stores it's session in a cookie. So if you store the captcha value in the session, you're sending a clear text version to the user.

The image is generated on the fly - it's done on the same request because of the above reason. Doing it dynamically with a new request really wouldn't change the performance. It'll save you 5kb.

What? Was this plugin coded by a beginner?

Quite rude, and certainly not the best way to get an answer in this community.
