I have my own session > handling implemented... and I do both "sid" passing as well as cookies... > but I'd love to know how to detect.... on the very start of a session it will send a cookie if transparent url rewrites (trans-sid) are enabled it will also add the session id parameter to all urls and as a hidden field to forms transparent rewrites are disabled when the session id hat already been received as a cookie as cookies obviously work with the browser if no cookie is received up to now session handling will resend the cookie on each and every request, even if the session id had already been received as a GET or POST parameter, indicating that cookies are not available but i will commit a patch to the session extension that will make it send a cookie only once per session (amongst other improvements) -- Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@six.de http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77
