Pam, it's true that your will more likely hit login.php using GET, but it does not stop me using POST. >From http session point of view GET or POST does not matter. What matters is that the server need to create new session and inform the client about the session ID (using cookies or URL rewrites or hidden input fields or whatever else). The client has to inform the server in each subsequent request that it has session ID (through cookies or rewritten by the server URLs or whatever else) in order to participate in session. Server has to recognise clients passing session ID to it. You therefore must ensure that both client and server know what to do and when to do it. Things like cookie driven sessions will come out of the box in php and http client, but have to be set-up and certain logic must be there to accommodate various scenarios and exceptions. have a look at wikipedia as a starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_(computer_science) Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
