Sorry for that.

Well, first of all, you should always use the Cookie+URL mechanism, as the current implementation fails (with infinite redirects, see below) if cookies are used and the browser doesn't accept them. > I got this far: > > 1.

So, any help here will be appreciated... Ideally I'd > like sessions to be used with Double check your browser settings, development webserver config and so on - I regularly see URL sessions in use with my own development setup, although on the live site, cookie sessions are used. I think it might have something to do with the finer details of cookies and browsers, possibly a browser bug, a A::A::P::S bug or even behaviour that is correct (though annoying). > 2.

I've created this page: http://www.axkit.org/wiki/view/AxKit/ApacheAxKitPluginSession I have not tested it, however, but adapted it from a working site. Please report success or failure, and feel free to add more examples if you get other setups working correctly. -- CU Joerg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
