Well how does it work? Is it advertised as M$ magic in the class? Is http not stateless? I don't follow your description and I don't believe in magic. Is it using cookies? If not what? It must be using something? I bet it's using cookies. Sounds a lot like what you normally do with sessions. I don't follow the "send message from one session to another" ... is this not just normal course for sessions? I'd like more explanation before I believe that this is any more than just a module.
