Hi, all --
I've seen a recent flurry of discussion on sessions, and that's good;
lovely how that has shown up just as I need to dig into sessions. I
think I've come to understand, though, that you can't manage sessions
without either URL extensions or cookies, and that's bad (for me, at
least).
Is that a correct understanding? It seems that using forms to pass the
session token would work, but that means having all buttons instead of
links, which has its own disadvantages. Is there any other way to get
data to the server?
We currently use the URL to pass variables but we don't want to hang the
page password out there :-) and so we have to maove away from that somehow,
and it would be nice if we could get away from URL mangling entirely.
Cookies aren't an option, though.
TIA & HAND
:-D
