According to the docs you tell ASP.NET to use cookieless sessions by setting
a value in the config.web file.
However, what if I wanted to determine at run time whether or not I wanted
to use cookieless sessions for a particular user, and if so, I'd instruct
ASP.NET to turn on cookieless sessions for a particular user session. Is
this possible?
For example I want to use cookie based sessions by default for all users.
But if a user has set a preference in my sites options to not use cookies on
my site, I want to dynamically at run time force ASP.NET to use cookieless
sessions for this one visitor in particular, while everyone else runs with
cookie based sessions by default.
Is there a property I can set/override at run time within the HttpContext or
something else (perhaps I can intercept the request via a HttpModule and set
a property to turn cookieless sessions on/off?) to tell ASP.NET to force
sessionless cookies on a case by case basis? Or is the only way to do this
through the config file, in which case it is either cookieless sessions for
everyone or cookieless sessions for no one (based on the boolean set in
config.web)?
If there is no way to override this setting dynamically at run time (so I
can use cookieless sessions for some visitors and not others) is there any
other fancy way I can effectively force ASP.NET to do this? Such as getting
fancy within an HttpModule to perform what ASP.NET would be doing, etc?
Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks to all in advance for your
thoughts on this.

Does anyone have an some idea on whether this can be done, and if so, how?
Microsoft gurus - what do you think?

Does anyone know if Microsoft engineers monitor / reply to the group? Since
it has been about a week with no responses I am assuming this is either a
complex topic or something that there is little or no information on. So
I'm hoping that maybe someone at Microsoft can shed some light or perhaps
point me in the right direction (or even tell me that this is not possible).
Anyone?

Hi,
I really need to use cookieless ASP sessions with ASP 3 (IIS5)
Can I find out the session ID from the first page, then post it or send it
with the url to the next page, then at the start of the next page asp, set
the session ID from the value retrieved from the URL?
How do you manually set the session ID?

I've seen a few sites around (for example, Match.com and some areas of microsoft.com) that implement a cookieless session by tacking on the session ID (usually in Hex) to a page's querystring, rather than using the default implementation of cookieless sessions /(sessionID)/ which appears if you set cookieLess="TRUE" in the web.config file. I can't find any information on how this is being done. Any clues?

I read that the Whidbey release will support this and you can make it work

Hi gang,
This one looks like a bug :o(
As you may or may not know, setting session management in web.config to use
cookieless sessions causes the ASP.NET runtime to munge a session ID into
the URL, in the format http://yourapplicationpath/(Session.SessionID)/...
which saves numerous headaches when it comes to storing state across page
requests and sessions.

I have an odd scenario.
I am working on a hybrid site that uses various development platforms,
namely traditional ASP and Lasso (a Mac scripting language). The site uses
its own custom sessions stored in a mySQL database, and state is maintained
through the URL, passing a session GUID in the URL between page calls. For
example:

when using ASP.NET 2.0, if you set 'cookieless session = fales'
(meaning you want to use cookies), is the session information stored in
a cookie on the client machine or in the browsers memory?
