no session cookie??

[spit0033]

I have an ASP.NET website and in my web.config file i have sessions defined as: <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="UseCookies" timeout="20"/>


But for some reason i dont get a sessionID cookie(ASP.NET_SessionId), and it is throwing off a lot of my session timeout detect code. Has anyone run into this, or knows what is going on??

Thanks

How are you retrieving the information from your session?
I don't understand how you're having a problem...this works for me without incident.

You can check to make sure the cookie is even being sent.
open up telnet (or hyperterminal if you know how).
if your server is at say http://www.mydomain.com, in telnet use:
open www.mydomain.com 80

it will be a little confusing because your curser key will move to top-left where there is probably already text, but then type
GET / HTTP/1.0
and hit enter twice. Your server will reply with the ascii-text associated with your default webpage. Scroll up to the top and you will see header info like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 14:38:07 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727
Set-Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=nxrvgk45adlkxbaci2w5yz45; path=/; HttpOnly
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 3815
 

As you can see my sessionid cookie was sent, you can check in a similar way. Also (in Iexplorer at least) look for a little eyeball in the buttom right status bbar, it's the privacy report for your webpage and *should* tell you if any cookies were rejected.
