There arec several ways but one would be to pass the connection
object ID as a cookie and then when Quiting usend the cookie data to 
the
server which ises it to referenbce the connection object - a 
dictionary
might be useful here...

Thats assuming you havf multiple connection objects running, maybe 
even
one per client sesssion. If its a global conmnection objerct then just 
store
it as a global object (maybe in its own module imported by all other
modules?)

There are several other options but those are probably the two 
simplest
depending on your use case.
