Note that to obtain URL-based SIDs, you must also ensure that
session.use_only_cookies is set to "0".

This is just my personal opinion, and shouldn't taken as "advice", but I
believe that one shouldn't bother with URL-based sessions. If the user
has disabled cookies, they will have to accept the disadvantages
associated with that decision, i.e. certain websites will not be able to
provide full functionality.
To obtain truly interactive behaviour from a website, state must be
maintained (i.e. the server must be able to keep track of what has
occurred in the past). If the user has disabled cookies, then they
seriously impair this.
