Anjo,

Before you go in this kind of pronouncements I have a few points to make.

The reason this works the way it works is because we would like to support query dictionaries on URLs. The current behavior is the default for WOHyperlink i.e. we handle the query dictionary and fragment identifiers. We therefore append the URL with the correct information. Part of the query dictionary is the session ID. The session ID is NOT included if either of this is true:
                No session exist before the call (typically a direct action)
or The session id is not stored in the URL (i.e. it is stored in the cookie)
        or      There is a binding ?wosid=false
        or      The query dictionary contains a key wosid bound to Boolean.FALSE

This is the correct behavior for links inside the current web site. I agree that this not correct for links out of the current web site, this however causes a problem as there is no way for WebObjects to determine what is inside and what is outside of the current Web site, only the Web server can.

Changing the behavior is quite straight forward as the query dictionary is computed in the context: public NSDictionary<String, Object> computeQueryDictionary(String aRequestHandlerPath, NSDictionary<String, Object> queryDictionary, NSDictionary<String, Object> otherQueryDictionary) There is no need for a "Wonder patch", each developer can do what they need.

We were caught by surprise with this new "feature". But the above one-liner took care of it. We actually did this in our BaseSession class, which all apps subclass from. While we're on the subject of session IDs, also do this
in the constructor:

Wow. I see. You ARE sure that this one liner actually takes care of:

- having older apps still work for which you neither have source nor time to work on
- having both the cookie and the ULR work if they are not on sync
- have distributed responsibilities, where some people might allow cookies and some not

This is just OTOMH, I'm sure I can come up with extra cool XSS stuff when I put my mind into it. But I no wanna.

Do YOU really want to wade around >3k components just for the heck of it to make sure that wosid=false is set in each case? And for *what* again?

Again: It is broken. Please fix, thanks. I don't want to hear about workarounds, it affects stuff you don't and can't even know or care about for no reason at all. If Pierre doesn't fix it, Wonder will.

Cheers, Anjo
