The session is based on a cookie or URL string variable (if you are doing cookieless sessions). The IP address can change, if the cookie or urltoken is the same the session remains. The question is, does AOL futz with the cookie or urltoken.

While I haven't had this problem myself (I soon will), I have heard this "CF vs. AOL" tid bit. An AOL users IP address may (and do) change during a session, when it does, CF thinks they are a new user and the user is no longer associated with their session. The only way around this is to add CFID and CFTOKEN to every url in the site. Can anybody confirm or deny this?

I can't see why. Client variables are, by default, stored in YOUR server's registry. All the same it is better to setup a separate database and use that instead. -----Original Message----- From: Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 16 July 2002 11:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cf vs AOL help needed.... I have something I've been struggling with for a little while now, and while after exhaustive research I think I'm on the right path I'm not sure I understand quite what the actual solution is. I have a members only website. I use session variables to allow users to move around within the site once they have logged in. It has come to light that AOL users get a much slower response time than people using "normal" ISP's (no offense intended to AOL users!) In all the reading I've now done, my thinking is that the progressive proxy servers they use at AOL may be hindering my client variables... am I on the right track here? has anyone run into this and found a solution for this? ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
