I acknowledge that I may be doing this wrong. I have a very trivial hunchentoot server which merely returns a string containing the Hunchentoot SessionID.

From browsers, this works - subsequent requests do not result in a new session being created.

However, even (mis?) using the cookie-jar, I end up with new sessions being created. (let ((jar (make-instance 'cookie-jar))) (labels ((doit () (print (multiple-value-list (http-request http://mysite.com/:cookie-jar jar))) (print (cookie-jar-cookies jar)))) (doit) (doit) (doit) (cookie-jar-cookies jar))) The cookie seems to be replaced with each call, with a new session's cookie. I imagine hunchentoot uses cookies to track sessions - is the old cookie not being sent back? Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a way to use Drakma to track a persistent session? The set-cookie comes back as hunchentoot-session=xx%yyy - where xx is the session number. Thanks, Matt.
