I think your best option is to pass the session id on the request, with a parameter or a path component: `http://my.site.net/the/path/to/the/page/SESSIONID` [download] or `http://my.site.net/the/path/to/the/page?sid=SESSIONID` [download] or something to that effect. I personally prefer the first method, since it's less confusing to spiders and bots (and I'd like my site to be indexed by search engines). -- dakkar - Mobilis in mobile Most of my code is tested...
