Is there a way to check for to see if the user has session cookies
enabled?
I know how to check to see if they have cookies in general enabled,
but how do you test for just session cookies?
Thanks

A cookie is a cookie. A session cookie is just a cookie with no expires date
set so that it isn't stored.
You check by writing one and trying to get the value. If you can, you're good
to go.
Users might enable session cookies and disable saved cookies, but if you
write a session cookie and can retrieve the value, they've got session
cookies enabled.

A cookie is a cookie. A session cookie is just a cookie with no expires
date set so that it isn't stored.
Nonsense. A session cookie is *always* stored if the user allows it to be
set (otherwise it would be useless). What makes it special is that it
expires at the latest when the UA session ends ("the UA exits), often when
the last instance of a browser window or tab that belongs to the UA is
closed. To do so, its expiry must be the date of the moment when it is
set (which means a value of 0 for the Max-Age header, or the current local
date in the Expires/"expires" header/option), or a date in the past of the
current local date for the Expires/ "expires" header/option, or the
header/option must be omitted (because session cookies are the default).
UAs are allowed to discard a cookie prior to the expiry because of finite
storage space.

You know very well that Kaeli was simply stating that there is no

If you think that Kaeli is violating her terms of service by adding,
NOSPAM., to the domain, you should stop taking whatever drugs you're on.
Comcast actually *suggest* address munging when posting to Usenet and
other public locations where address harvesting could occur. You're
delusional if you think that Comcast, or any ISP, will terminate a
member's account for protecting their inbox.
Post useful messages, not pedantic drivel that no-one, other than
yourself, could give a toss about.

what are the repercussions of "being warned", or, are you just spouting

He's going to babble about it *is* an ISP since it provides service to
the internet. He's a moron sometimes :)

That is the advice given by Comcast as well. My service is through
giganews via Comcast. Comcast is Giganews' customer, not me. So to try
to "report" me, he has to report Comcast, and then attempt (futiley) to
get them to cancel/action my account.
He's been in my killfile for awhile. Ignore his "warnings".
I had him in mine for a while, then removed him so I could
correct/countermand his garbage babbling.

The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store

Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the

and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Please review and let me know if I am correct:
1) My understanding from reading
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/
diforwc-ch05.asp is that asp.net uses cookies to store the user session id,
but if cookies are not enabled then it will send the session id as part of
the url. Is this correct?
