No, I don't think there is any way of doing that with cookie-based session tracking. You can delete the cookie, but that effectively makes the old session inaccessable; that effect is more easily obtained just by calling session.invalidate()! And a browser cannot have two different cookies with the same value. Well, I suppose you could have the same webapp appearing at different paths, eg via apache mod_rewrite, and redirect from one path to another to prevent the old cookie path from matching. Then a different cookie would be passed for each different path. However it sounds like session-tracking via URL rewriting is the best way to achieve this - though I have no idea why you would *want* to do this. Perhaps you should describe what you actually want to achieve? > > If I open a new IE from desktop, all requests from the new IE window are in > a different session.

But that doesn't help you here, as AFAIK IE has no mimetype configured that causes it to start another instance of itself. Regards, Simon
