ASP.NET Session Lost in Opera

[NilMS]

Hi,

I have created a test Web Application Project.

Default.aspx just has a button.

Page_Load has following code:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                Response.Write("Session Id:" + Session.SessionID);
            }
        }
 
        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           Response.Write("Session Lost! Session Id:" + Session.SessionID );
       }

Issue: SessionId keeps changing on every button click. In short, Session lost! This is breaking my well working application (IE/FireFox/Safari).

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
NilMS

Does opera allow the session cookie or does it block it?

[NilMS]

It doesnt seem to pass Session cookie back to the server.

I have Cookie setting being "Accept All Cookies" in Opera 9.

However, I could get around it by setting cookieLess = "true". Doesnt seem to be an acceptable resolution though.

Yeah, I thought as much. Was pretty sure that I had heard that Opera doesn't do the Session Cookie stuff correctly.
Don't think you can do much else about except wait for Opera to get on the ball and fix it?

This seems a bit strange to me because I use Sessions in my application and do testing with Opera....(the version I've been using lately is 9)

Double check your Cookies settings....

Perhaps it is a security setting and not just a cookie settings? Like what level of "protection" you have for your "zones" or something in the opera browser?

[NilMS]

This is weard!

Got back to my app just to try the suggestions in replies. Went to double check if its "Accept Cookies" - yes it was. Browsed the website and it worked fine.(without making any change or even getting to ZONE stuff)

hmmm.... Not sure if behavior will be the same now onwards. Planning to test it more to determine its "random" behavior.

Lately I realized what was the difference.. I was trying on my new machine where Opera was installed afresh. If I had my old machine, I would have certainly uninstalled/reinstalled Opera to see if that fixes my session issue. But I would recommend that as a worthy try.

Thanks for the follow up NilMS :)
