passing session in url.. really a big deal?

i am trying to figure out if i am just making a big deal over
nothing... or if i am finding an impedance mismatch between my and
seaside..

just about every app i have written has a pretty high reliance on
users forwarding urls to others..

passing the session in the url could really cause a problem for a user
without them even knowing about it...

has anyone found that this to be a huge problem that couldn't be
simply and easily worked around?

am i just making an issue of nothing?

thanks!

Hi sergio

just a point: would you pass a program just in the middle a
computation to a friend?
Would your friend make sense about been in the middle of a (flight
booking process, antialiasing photo correction....)
pay attention we are talking about ***applications*** not book or
set of pages where the flow has limited value.

But, if you still want to do this, you could generate a url that represents the state of the computation without the session key, and make that url available to the user to pass to others.

There is no problem with questions. I think that this is important for
everybody to get exposed to other
point of view.
