Ok regarding sessions. Under default behaviour sessions will try and set a
cookie, in the next page if the cookie does not exist it uses the session id
in the address instead. If a cookie does exist it does not adapt the
address.
Now regarding the problem of AOL. I do not think it is AOL not allowing
sessions, it sounds more like you use the IP number of the customer to
determin wether it is the same person. The problem with AOL is that a user
can have 1 ip on 1 page load and on the next have another completely
different ip address.
