Out of respect for a little bird that whispered in my ear on this topic....

I just wanted to mention, that when going between HTTP and HTTPS (or visa
versa) in your application, it doesn't hurt to also pass
<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT> at the same time - to ensure no issues come up with
respect to loosing User Variables.

As I have mentioned in the past, I don't use <@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT> in my
applications and instead rely on the HTTP session-cookie to pick up the
work. There are many reasons for this, but I won't go into them now.

And please know, I mainly focus on "Intranet" applications and I ONLY build
for MS Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher (on Windows).

I think the success and/or failure of <@USERREFENCEARGUMENT> vs.
session-cookies is largely dependent on environment factors surrounding the
Server. For me, I have a pretty basic formula - Microsoft all the way, and
it doesn't' fail me :-)

Sure, sometimes my advice is tainted, but I don't mean to mislead anybody
intentially. Just give me a good kick in the a** once in awhile 8-O

Cheers......
