Check user agent string - there are defined user agents for most search
agents
See http://www.useragentstring.com/
http://www.pgts.com.au/pgtsj/pgtsj0208q.html (many others out there as well)
This is also a trick that can be used to view content you don't have a
session for..
Ie change your user agent string in firefox (ie doesn't allow you - only to
append to it unless you are using an http debugging proxy) and then view a
previously indexed but protected page..
So be sure to handle that technique as well.

Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] how to prevent session creation for search engines

Hi,

Does anyone know how we can prevent session creations for search
engines on an asp.net 2.0 website?
We use cookie based session, which obviously fails for search engines ...

Thanks,
// Ryan
