Session variables lost when http goes to https. Add to link?

[Andy K]

I am using a session variable

mylogo = Session ("refer")

I am sending the variable via web form. But the form is on a https secure server and the session is closed when changing servers.

Would it be possible to add code placing the ref= variable in the hyperlink to the form ? ?

Something like this maybe (but not that cos it doesnt work!)

Code: Select all

http://form.asp?ref=<% response.write("mylogo") %>

Or what are the alternatives? I would like to avoid using a DataBase but if it has got to be done . . . . .

Just put ?ref=mylogo

THen use the Request.querystring to retrieve it. IF you want to write it, you can always do

Code: Select all

Response.Write(Request.Querstring("ref"))

?ref=mylogo is not being accepted :: Page Can Not Be Displayed HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

However using a number ( ?ref=2 ) instead of 'mylogo' does work. Is there a way around this?

Ok I worked it out. This is it:

?ref=<%=mylogo%>
