OT - How Web Apps Do/Should Detect Authentication
Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry
Hello:
Can someone tell me how a web application knows whether a user is
logged in?
Somehow, web applications can detect whether someone has already
logged in.
I know all about ASP Membership; that's not what I'm asking.
I want to know what gets sent to the web server so it can verify the
user. Is it some kind of cookie? a HTTP header? taco meat?
Any links or books where I can read all about it would be muchly
appreciated.
Thanks for any insight!
