Which mobile device does not support cookies or HTTP Request headers? It
may not be convenient, but I stand by keeping session information - or
any sensitive data - out of a HTTP GET request, even over HTTPS.
Especially for a security library or security community as sharp as
Shiro! :)

Gareth Collins commented on SHIRO-351:
--------------------------------------
Cookies are definitely better though sometimes you need to support this because
certain mobile devices/client APIs do not support cookies.
For my implementation, this will be all over SSL and is not planned for use
with a vanilla browser.
Shiro Native Session implementation cannot extract JSESSIONID From URL if
JSESSIONID is URL parameter (not HTTP parameter)

Key: SHIRO-351
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-351
Project: Shiro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Web
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Environment: N/A
Reporter: Gareth Collins
The background for this issue is here:
http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/Shiro-Native-Sessions-quot-JSESSIONID-quot-or-quot-JSESSIONID-quot-td7367217.html
In summary the issue is that Shiro supports extracting JSESSIONID from urls of
this format:
http://www.mycompany.com/myResource?JSESSIONID=ABCDEF
but not of this format (this URL format is generated by HTTPServletResponse
encodeURL method and is Servlet specification 2.5 compliant):
http://www.mycompany.com/myResource;JSESSIONID=ABCDEF
Shiro should be able to support both URL formats.
