I use "sequence numbers" to avoid the problem. It's
basically a similar solution to the "secrets"
mentioned in the article. An increasing integer number
is send back to client with every request. The client
must put it back to the server with each new request.
It has the added advantage (that was really my primary
intention) that it can be used with other usefull
purposes (for example, forbidding reloading of
"critical" pages by just checking the sequence number
has/has not already been used). An external attacker
has no piece idea what the next sequence number must
be so Session Riding is not possible (At least that's
what I think).

I assume you attach this number to the urls in the final HTML response? Passing it back as cookie is useless, AFAIS.

 I don't know how this mechanism or something similar
could be added in a general way to the Webware
framework, but it would be great if brighter brain
that mine could get it done.
