ASP does have a session ID mechanism in place already and full support
for it. This may be what they are using currently. If not, there are
plenty of URI-decoding libraries in other languages such as Perl, Python
and Ruby. I'm not sure if the ASP Session ID requires cookies or uses
the originating IP and source port, instead (I believe it is the latter,
so this is most likely what they are doing). Check MSDN for info on the
ASP Session ID.
