It's pretty simple, really, as I understand it. The application simply "fingerprints" the request - I'm not sure exactly what it looks at to do this, but I haven't had to since it seems to work very well - and creates an object corresponding to that unique request. The value is stored by the browser, the server doesn't know anything about it. It doesn't need server-side or browser support, it's built into Flash Player. > Q2: > Are there alternatives to ASyncToken that don't depend on flex? I don't see why you couldn't roll your own here, assuming you can figure out how to "fingerprint" a request. I only do Flex though, so I can't really give you a straight answer to this question.
