Re: Source of JSESSIONID Cookie

Thanks Jim.

I don't have Chrome installed here at the moment (used to be) so I'll
have to re-install it.  For some reason Firefox doesn't provide much
information on cookie contents although they do show up now in the
dev-tools|memory tab.

This project is not my highest priority, although my most frustrating
one at the moment, so it may be a week or two until I can get back to
it.  

Thank you for your replies and your insight into the problem.

Regards,

John
