one view: "generally a bad idea and poses a very big security risk
  (users can post a url with the session part included)."

another view: an accepted practice on other platforms aware that
  mandating the use of cookies for full functionality may be culturally
  inappropriate or outright illegal. And if there's anything sensitive --
  financial, health, personal privacy -- involved in your app, then you
  should be using SSL anyway, which negates the above concern. :-)
