[Building Sakai] Accessing HTTP Attributes in Sakai

[Mark J. Norton]

Following up on this, can someone confirm that the Sakai ContextSession 
object provides access to the current HTTP attributes?  The 
documentation 
<https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/kernel/trunk/api/src/main/java/org/sakaiproject/tool/api/ContextSession.java>is 
a bit sparse.  ContextSession.getAttribute() has the comment:

     Returns the object bound with the specified name in this session, or <code>null</code> if no object is bound under the name.

I just need to be sure that the "session" here is the HTTP session, 
rather than the Sakai session.
