Merge proposal[edit]

This article has been proposed for merging with Session (computer science) for about 3 years. I agree with this merger. Any thoughts? --KarlB (talk) 05:33, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Seeing no objection, I merged all of session management into session (computer science). --DavidCary (talk) 03:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please merge session id article as well - as a section in the parent[edit]

Here is one link - this one to Oracle - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/webapp/sessions.html

External Link broken[edit]

Perhaps it should have been a reference to the book.

USA has http://books.google.com/books?id=zEWvS-sTiNUC

and Canada has a preview at http://books.google.ca/books?id=zEWvS-sTiNUC

CGI Session ID[edit]

I think saying CGI Programs use CGISESSID as an identifier für cookies is misleading, because it depends on the actual implementation which ID for cookies is used. CGI only discribes an interface between webserver and web-application, not the protocol between server and client. --85.16.71.3 (talk) 15:54, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Communications Theory?[edit]

Isn't there a mathematical dimension to stateful sessions?

For example, "What is the minimum number of communications required for two computers to be assured within constraints X,Y, and Z, that they are aware of one another and ready to communicate with one another?"

I believe I have seen in my lifetime, formalisms of connections.

Yet, this article is entirely about, "Here's how sessions work in technology X."

I think that for the wikipedia article here to be encyclopedic, it needs to include the abstract formalism. But I don't know what it's called.
