OH, just like ASP.Net another popular language!

OK, jokes aside, there are ways around it, but personally I prefer 
trying to encourage users to use a cookie do to the 'messy' urls and 
also the possibility that a user can copy and paste the URL to someone 
else who would then pick up their session, which is a bit of a security 
problem.
