That only works for one "click". (the next click won't have the id
anymore, except maybe if you do a redirect every time - very ugly).
If possible by far the easiest way to do "sessions" is to say "turn on
cookies or go away".
We do some "sessions" with storing ip addresses, user agents (both not too
reliable) plus some specific data from our application and trying to match
them again.
It works but when possible, we use cookies or url mangling, much easier
and much more reliable.
