Duplicate Session ID

I've run across some very strange behavior when running and debugging an
asp.net application. I have created a shortcut to the URL of the app (which
runs locally on IIS under XP Pro). If I use the shortcut more than once to
bring up two or more browser windows for that page, the Session ID is the
same for all those windows. If I leave those windows open, then
independently launch the browser and enter the URL, I do get a brand new
session. It seems to be related just to the shortcut, because I can open
multiple browser windows, and then key in the URL on each of them, and I do
get separate session IDs as expected. But as soon as I use a shortcut, the
pages displayed by the browser all report the same session ID.

Anyone run across this before? Does anyone understand what is happening
here?

This is a known behaviour. On the web u can easily open instances of
browsers in the same session (IE ctrl+n and as you have shown, a
shortcut). You can't guarantee people will hop onto new sessions and
this will have to be programmed around.

I was not aware of that, but if this is "normal" behavior, how would you
determine that a new browser instance is actually duplicating a session
instead of starting a new session? Can you suggest how that would be
programmed around?

Thanks

Hi, I'm having a problem with an SQL statement, I have a statement that goes like this: "INSERT INTO table VALUES('TransID','CID',etc...);" it basically adds new data to a table. When the form is posted it adds the data just fine. However, when you try to add more new data it adds the data and it duplicates it again with different transaction ID.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
