"Logging in" to a specific session with asp.net session provider

[Kocureq]

Hi all,

I'm using a default, InProc ASP.NET session provider, ASP.NET 3.5.

I want to use a nice flash file uploader. The problem with it is that it
can't send cookies with the files, so I don't know on ASP.NET from which
client the files are comming.

I can modify the form action parameter with javascript to say, e.g.
upload.aspx?sessionID=X, where X is ASP.NET session ID read from cookie.
However, I can't find a way to access a specific session on ASP.NET. Is
it possible?

Hello Kocureq,

JS runs on client, and your session in serverside stuff.
There is no standard way to access your session in js if you are not using
hidden fields or ajax

>so I don't know on ASP.NET from which client the files are comming.

what exactly do u need to get?! user name or what?

I don't want to access it.

See, I have a flash upload "widget", that uploads files nicely to my
ASP.NET website, but doesn't send the session cookies.

In ASP.NET I need to know which user has sent me the file - so I have to
access this user's session. One method I thought of is to use Javascript
to take out the session ID from cookie and send it with the picture,
e.g. modify the form action from

upload.aspx

to

upload.aspx?session_id=9uu8053ungwe8ryt83

so I can get the session ID on ASP.NET side.

However, I need a way to tell ASP.NET "here's the session ID - use this
one".

Can anyone please help?

Or maybe there is a better, ASP.NET-compatible fancy multi-file upload
with real progress bar?
