Re: silent post?

First, save the session id and pass as a parameter to future
connections
(You are proboly doing that some where else but I didn't see
that in your code).

Second, some people are not using cookie session ids (cookie
support and netscape's single cookie for all tabs problem),
so save whatever looks like a tag and pass that as parameter
to future connections.
