Hi Probably you've set setclientcookies to yes previously, and they are still being used. setclientcookies does not tell CF not to use cookies if they exist, simply not to set them.
Put this code into your application cfm to kill the cookies when you close the browser and then try the same thing again <cfif IsDefined( "Cookie.CFID" ) AND IsDefined( "Cookie.CFTOKEN" )> <cfset localCFID = Cookie.CFID> <cfset localCFTOKEN = Cookie.CFTOKEN> <cfcookie name="CFID" value="#localCFID#"> <cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#localCFTOKEN#"> </cfif> hth mark Mark Smyth Developer SUeBS 00 44 1865 880800 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.systemsunion.net -----Original Message----- From: Bimal Shah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 February 2002 12:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: session without cookies - why/how does this work? Hello I have an Application.cfm page with the following: <cfapplication name="sessiontest" sessionmanagement="Yes" setclientcookies="No"> And two cf pages: page1.cfm <cfset session.name = "tom.smith"> page2.cfm <cfoutput>#session.name#</cfoutput> In the browser, I type in http://mywebserver/page1.cfm and then type in http://mywebserver/page2.cfm and it displays "tom.smith". Why/how does this work when I have set "setclientcookies" to "No" and I am not passing CFID,CFTOKEN (since I am typing in the URLS directly - no url or form variables being sent)?
