Re: forward/sendRedirect Netscape/Ie

["Bruce Jin" <JIN007M@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I remember the old WAS (don't know how old) did not automatically switch
from using cookie to using URL redirect if cookie is disabled on client.
This caused session to be created all the time if client disables cookies. I
remember there was a switch in WAS that I had to turn on. But I can not find
this switch in my WAS 3.5.5 console. Maybe you can check if your Netscape
has cookie disabled.
