You should probably check the archives, the question about "can I
strip off query strings" comes up periodically. There may even be a
patch. But if not, you could hack htlib/URL.cc and have it ignore
everything after the ?.
But this raises another question--why are you spitting back different
session IDs? This summer I was doing similar things and we were very
careful to leave the session ID alone. It would be quite confusing
for a browser (much less htdig) to have the session change.
Also, you might consider adding code to ignore the session ID on the
server-side if the User-Agent is htdig. Obviously if it's easier to
change one part of the code or another, you go that way. ;-)
