This probably means that session cookies are not accepted.
Sessions require passing the session ID around, and the
existing choices are (a) cookie or (b) URL.

You need to pass the SID somehow, and that's one way. Also look
at trans_sid, which may do much the same thing but save you some
work. It puts the session ID in the URL unless it appears that
cookies are working.

Hidden field with the SID in it?
