How about a 'scoop' as in ice cream, because it melts away when
you're done. ;)

I love the government.
The W3C folks should have given session "cookies" a completely
different name. Something that doesn't sound a "threatening" as
cookie. So irrational organization like our federal government
wouldn't create silly policies disallowing the use of them. (they
can try to get ISPs to keep a log of every packet that goes through
their routers, but don't store some random string in memory as we
communicate with a web server that we initiated communications with)
What would be a good name that accurately reflects the temporary
nature of a session cookie.... what's just as yummy, more useful
and doesn't last as long as a normal cookie?

Yes but some of us (I work for Federal Gov't) are not actually
*allowed* to use cookies.... so when you have those constraints,
and need to make sure session variables are saved.... you're kind
of stuck.

Yes, but that doesn't solve any of the issues that arise from
using it in a url, you have the same issues, when you don't just
use the cookie methods.

You can also pass UserReferenceArgument as a hidden argument,
which drops it out of the URL...
I believe it must be in this form <input type="hidden"
name="_userReference" value="<@UserReferenceArgument>">
If I am in error on the format, someone on the list more
knowledgeable can correct this .....

Folks I'm dealing with do not like cookies, candies or anything
sweet - spent a lot of time making sure that I was passing
userref in the url to avoid cookies. I'm just gonna see if my
isp can do something about their router, unless my xserve is
doing this NAT, even though its turned off.
Thanks for your help on this Dave, William & Robert!

Yes, they are in the URI, you can see in the log:
_function=validate_user&_UserReference=58FA321F03B02D3E447F5B62
Remove userreference from URI, and only use cookies.

Are the userref's in the URI? That would allow them to be

Look in the archive on session hijacking.

Hello all!
I looked at my witango log today and it seems like the same
userreference was assigned to two different users, seconds
apart while both were accessing diff. apps.
What's so odd is that the server address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is being logged as the clients ip. How can this be?
