client.cftoken, "_" and client.hitcount. Once a purchase was completed
I reset the cart id by recreating it. Since the hitcount was different,
I got a new, unique cart ID pretty much automatically and maintained the
ability to tie it to a specific visitor.
I haven't done that in a *long* time, and I don't think I would do it
again. As has been pointed out, there are better ways to accomplish the
job of prepping a cart for re-use, plus ID'ing a computer isn't
necessarily the same thing as ID'ing a person. I only mention it in
case you are in a bind and need a fast solution, simply implemented.
