Alternate method of implementing cookieless sessions?

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="TRU E" in the web.config file. I can't find any information on how this is being done. Any clues?

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 experimented/researched cookieless sessions and tried it on my website. I expected the switch to cookieless sessions to be transparent but this isn' t the case at all: 1) Forms based authentication doesn't work I read that the Whidbey release will support this and you can make it work today: http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/cookieless.asp Still, it's a showstopper for most websites

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...

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: http://localhost/index.html?-session=42FFA3821db04174BBRxjX1B4B48

I have a question about cookies & browser permissions and turning off cookies when creating a web site (cookieless mode in web.config). I have a web site that of course uses Session variables. But we decided to turn off the cookieless mode because the client specifically said her browser did not allow cookies. Anyway, when searching about it, I found out that by setting cookieless = true the session cookie is embedded into the URL sent...

I'm trying to use cookieless sessions in asp.net using the InProc mode (for various reasons it is not desirable for us to use the other modes if it is possible to avoid them). My problem revolves around the use of absolute and relative paths under this mode. Obviously absolute paths break the sessionId tracking in the url, which in our system relates to the user logins, causing the users to be logged off immediately. Clearly the simple...

Is there any way to have a user use cookieless sessions at runtime on a case-by-case basis? Or do cookieless sessions have to be turned on globally in the web.config for all users of the web application? We are attempting to set an Outlook folder to display a web page (ala Microsoft CRM 3's Outlook integration), but Outlook's implementation of the IE browser control appears to force a new session whenever you open a new browser window...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
