Session Being Appended to Links?

[Barkster]

Some of my links are being appending with PSPSESSID=3424l j234l...

http://www.domain.com//ListDetail.ph...d66005c02eb5fc

Any ideas as to why?

Thanks

Do you have cookies disabled in your browser?

No I use them on site I'm designing so I haven't disabled them.

Another weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Seems like
sometime if you refresh they are not there or navigate to another page
then back they are not doing it.

That's strange. I've heard of this happening, but never seen it myself. And
don't know what the final resolution was. Perhaps someone else here has seen it.

Also, please quote the message (or at least the relevant parts) that you're
responding to. I would say the majority of us do not use Google Groups to
access usenet, and we don't always have the previous message available.

Thanks.

This may be correct behavior if trans_sid is turned on. It puts the
session ID on until it has determined that cookies work.

Re: Session Being Appended to Links?

So should I try and turn off trans_sid? I've seen mention of that but
from what I found it was some type of apache bug but it was happening
on both servers. Wish I could track this down, but what your saying
about until it determines if cookies work makes since cause it goes
away after you change pages. It seems to only happen with the first
browser viewing of the domain.

I don't understand why you consider "session being appended to
links" to be a problem (although it can be a security issue due to
bookmarking or session hijacking if you don't invalidate sessions
after an explicit logout or a timeout). But if you don't want it,
turn off session.use_tra ns_sid in php.ini (but it's not on by default
in any setup I know, so at some point someone intentionally turned
it on).

trans_sid is not a bug, and it's a PHP feature, not an Apache feature.

On the first view of the domain, it SETS the session cookie, but
that page view doesn't SEE the cookie until the next hit (this is
the way cookies work).

Re: Session Being Appended to Links?

Well just checked the php.ini file on my server and it is off anyway.
Guess I will have to live with it.
