Sorry to keep this post going on, and on, and on...
But I am still pretty confused.

I am attempting to disable the cookies on the server side by using the
"noCookies" attribute in the RequestInterceptor as follows:

     <RequestInterceptor
         className="org.apache.tomcat.request.SessionInterceptor"
         noCookies="true"/>

My simple web page:

  <HTML>
    <BODY>
      Session Id: <%= session.getId() %>
    </BODY>
  </HTML>

I call this page directly in the address bar.  So I should not have to worry
about any url encoding before this page.

On Windows NT:
    IE:
        - Works fine.
    Netscape 4.7:
        - the two browsers show the same session Id.
    Netscape 6:
        - I am unable to get more than one browser started without using
file --> new
        - This causes the two browsers to have the same Id.  (This I
expected).
On Linux:
    Netscape 6:
        - I am able to start two browser sessions with DIFFERENT Ids.

If I disable cookies in Netscape (4.7 & 6), within the browser itself,  they
both work fine.  However, this is not a valid option for us.  We cannot
ask/force the user to change the settings on his browser in order to safely
use our product.

Is this "NoCookies" attribute in Tomcat, somehow not effective in the
Windows environment?
Am I missing something?
