Why on earth would the security settings affect session variables?
We're not setting a cookie here. I'm just trying to carry one session
variable over from one page to the next. If the security settings in IE
are set to "high", it doesn't work. What gives?
Hi Matt,
In the stateless client-server-world:
To create a session the server needs to know which client it is talking to.
This is done by sending an unique long string of characters (sessionid) to
the client.
Next time the client sends a request to the server, it sends this sessionid
with it.
Most of the time this sessionid is stored in a coockie....
You can also use URL-rewritting to code the sessionid in the URL.
As for M$ IE-exploder: I *think* setting to high security means blocking
coockies for IE. Not sure, dropped that securityhole ages ago.
Hope that helps.
