Request bound to a Session?

[Andreas Zita]

Hi

Is a Request bound to a certain Session or are they independent of each
other?
If they are bound, how can I know to what Session?

On the first request, the Web server replies with a Session ID as an
in-memory cookie that the browser stores. On subsequent requests, the server
reads that same cookie and matches it up with the values that it has stored
in memory for that Session ID.

You can read the Session ID using a browser plugin tool like this

Here's a sample Session ID:

ASP.NET_SessionId=fgadfv555y3sl545u3aiotqt

Hi Andreas:

When you say Session, do you mean the ASP.NET Session collection?

ASP.NET looks at incoming requests to see if they have a cookie value
or query string value that identifies which session the request is
associated with. Once ASP.NET finds this value is can make sure that
any code using the Session object goes to the right collection of
session values.
