How can the session state be maintained in asp.Net, if the cookies are turned off in browser or cookieless="true"
is added within sessionmode
tags in web.config?
The following tag shows cookieless="true"
in web.config.
<sessionState mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="30"/>
ASP.NET framework inserts a unique id
to the URL, you can check this by disabling the cookie or by setting the cookieless
attribute to true
as you did.
According to MSDN:-
By default, the SessionID value is stored in a non-expiring session
cookie in the browser.
If you specify cookieless="true"
then:
ASP.NET maintains cookieless session state by automatically inserting
a unique session ID into the page's URL.
Answer is yes, it will still maintain session via URL. It will attach unique identifier for session to URL, that unique identifier is stored in cookie for cookieless = false.
URL will look like this - http://yourserver/folder/(session ID here)/default.aspx
Live example -
http://localhost:2677/WebSite1/(S(3abhbgwjg33aqrt3uat2kh4d))/cookielesssessiondetection.aspx
Here 3abhbgwjg33aqrt3uat2kh4d
is session id.
