Hello Julio,

see into the mailarchiv and search for "Fetching CGI QUREY_STRING" from
Robert Barta! There is a hint how to get the contents of the shopping
cart.

Regarding the ID, you have to use [data session id] by minivend. Give
another machine this ID and another Machine have to use this ID to call
MV.

The code from Robert Barta work well in my shop.
