Cookieless Session running with Ajax.NET Professional (ASP.NET 1.1, fix for 2.0)

Michael Schwarz on Wednesday, April 5, 2006

The problem why cookieless sessions are not working in ASP.NET 2.0 is very easy, there is a change how it works internal. I have already fixed the code that it will work with ASP.NET 2.0 as with the older version 1.1. Have a look on the new release version 6.4.5.1 (or higher) in the next minutes on my web site [1].

bug in ASP.NET 2.0 (it is not really a bug, it is only not working the same way when cookieless sessions is enabled) requires a change in the web.config file. Currently I have used the common system.web section. Now, I will add a location tag instead to configure the Ajax.NET Professional [1] http handler. I wrote a complete example web.config that is working for Ajax.NET Professional and added some comments directly in the web.config file.

<?

<location path="ajaxpro"> <system.web> <httpHandlers> <add verb="" path=".ashx" type="AjaxPro.AjaxHandlerFactory,AjaxPro"/> </httpHandlers> <!-- If you need to have Ajax.NET Professional methods running on the login page you may have to enable your own authorization configuration here. --> <!-- <authorization> <allow users="*,?"/> </authorization> --> </system.web> </location> </configuration>
