Re: Session Problems

FoxWeb will create a new SessionID when it does not receive a session cookie from the browser. Obviously the first time you make a FoxWeb request from a browser there will be no SessionID, so FoxWeb sends a cookie. On subsequent requests the browser sends this cookie back to the browser, so FoxWeb reuses it.

If you are seeing the SessionID change from request to request then the problem may be related to cookie support being turned off on your browser.

I try to create users Session but, FoxWeb creates a SessionID on first hit and then in the second procedure it changes the SessionID and I loose Session variables.

1.- Default.htm redirect to /scripts/foxweb.exe/acceso@e:/soi/mhp/adm

2.-

procedure access
       Session.SetVar("xusr", 'xxx' )
       Session.SetVar("xpas", 'xxx' )
       xusr = Session.GetVar("xusr")
       xpas = Session.GetVar("xpas")
       strtofile(Session.getsessionID() + CRLF + xusr + CRLF + xpas, 'control.txt')
       html_out = CT + (MergeTxt(ReadFile('adm/access.htm')))
return

previous procedure generates the following file

control.txt contain :

--------

0ST0V2O7H2
xxx
xxx
----------

3.- then request user for username and password and action form send to checkusr procedure

procedure checkusr
       xusr = ff('username', '')
       xpas = ff('password', '')
       Session.SetVar("xusr", xusr )
       Session.SetVar("xpas", xusr )
       html_out = CT + (MergeTxt(ReadFile('adm/blank.htm')))
return

previous procedure generates the following file and FoxWeb changes the SessionID without closing the current window

control.txt contain

--------

0ST0V3B502

----------

Why does it change the SessionID

is it my programming?

is it FoxWeb itself?

if it is FoxWeb... how can i Fix it with programming , or what processes i need to run in the session so the programm keeps one SessionID could be the first that generates or the second but i need Only One SessionID for my check procedure

I´m running FoxWeb on Windows 2000 server and this is my configuration
