Identify the techniques that can be used to implement 'sessions' if the client browser does not support cookies.

Options

Select 3 correct options.

a) Using Http headers.
b) Using https protocol.
c) Hidden form fields.
d) URL rewriting
e)It cannot be done without cookie support.

Ans b,c and d

I think ans should be a,b and d.
a) is correct as when we talk about session and cookie, ultimately we are setting header(set-cookie) in the response

Moreover why option c) is correct ?

Marc,
You mean to say if client doesn't accept cookie, then it will ignore the Set-Cookie header.
So in this case session tracking is not possible using headers..

My Mistake.... Thanks for the answer...
