Re: Eliminating the Session ID from the URL?

["Hans-Joachim Leidinger" <hans-joachim.leidinger@home.gelsen-net.de>]

Hi Nicholas,

-----snipp from minivend doc----------
If the user has sent a cookie to MiniVend (meaning the second page they
access), and you set the scratch value c<mv_no_session_id> in their
session, the session ID will not be appended to the URL. If you set the
scratch value mv_no_count, then the page count will not be appended;
this is not dependent on cookies. So if you put in your initial page


        [set mv_no_session_id]1[/set]
        [set mv_no_count]1[/set]

no session ID or count will be shown. That makes the URL shown above be
http://machine.company.com/cgi-bin/vlink/shirts -- once again, that is
on the second page the user accesses if they are taking and sending
cookies. If the user has a pre-existing MV_SESSION_ID cookie from a
prior session, the effect will be immediate.

I hope this help you.
