Guys, a bit of history: I was the first to get web sessions to work (even though HTTP/1.0 wasn't good enough:) I invented two methods: a) http://www.poltara.co.uk/cgi-bin/deity?-XXXXXX-YYYYYY-ZZZZ b) not yet disclosed. The first method worked because argv[0]=="deity" and argv[1]== "-XXXXXX-YYYYYY-ZZZZ" on both HTTPD and IIS with both the GET and PUT methods. The second method is not disclosed because only I know it. THESE PREDATED ALL OTHER SOLUTIONS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T REQUIRE HIDDEN FIELDS AND COOKIES:) The original login pages are recorded at www.archive.org.
