[Mono-list] Session problem with mod_mono

Tue Jul 3 13:39:16 EDT 2007

Hello again,

I've reproduced this same problem again on WinXP with the latest
Apache/mod_mono/Mono setup.  I also found an old bug where someone
reported the same problem I'm having, but it was ultimately determined
to be 'not a bug':

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73203

So...my question is if this is not a bug, then what might I be doing
wrong in my configuration? All I've really done to cause the problem is
add the sessionState node in the web.config file with cookieless="true".
 Clearly I've missed some other key step.  Any recommendations?

Regards,
Mike
