How the session handling is done

Being inside a session.

If we use a httpclient package and do a request to
another server B.

How does the server B knows that this hit also belongs
to the same sesssion.

Should we set the cookies before submitting. Assuming
session Id also will be set accordingly.

Basically want to know how the session management is
done.

Thanks,

Hi whoever-you-may-be,

Disclosing your name won't hurt probably.

State in HTTP is managed through cookies. For general information about 
this, please refer to RFC-2109:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt

Please have a look at our Cookie guide:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/cookies.html

Sample code for cookie handling can be found here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/examples/CookieDemoApp.java?rev=155418&view=markup

If you have more concrete questions, feel free to get back to us.

Hi "tom tom",

the cookies are usually stored automatically by HttpClient
in the HttpState object used for executing a method. Each
cookie has path/domain information that tells HttpClient
whether to send it to host B or not.

cheers,
  Roland
