in reply to Re: If you do away with server-side state, you don't need cookies
in thread "omniscient debugging" for Perl
Whether you send the data to the client as a hidden field in a form, or as a cookie it's basically the same thing.Not really. The complete-state-in-a-form method allows for easy session forking. It also allows users to undo state transitions by backing up into the browser history. Cookies don't support either of these.
