HomeSeer Web and Session Variables

[Jim Doolittle]

I upgraded to Windows XP Home and should have bought XP Pro so that I could have IIS. But then I thought I could use HomeSeer to serve my FrontPage web. I wasn't really using anything that needed FrontPage extensions so this seemed feasible. However, my web uses session variables. Any idea on how I can simulate session variables?

Put a bug in Richs ear to support session variables through the HS web server. It is by the way ASP enabled. The only way I have found is to use HS.savevar, HS.createvar and HS.deletevar. These are the most unintuitive methods I have ever tried to use but I did get them working once.

Rupp,

GetVar/SaveVar would be okay for Application variables. For Session variables, I would also need to store a cookie on the users machine to maintain state. Of course, the user would have to have cookies enabled which is true for Session variables as well unless one is using "Cookie Munger".

Has anyone already done this so I do not have to reinvent the wheel?

I'm also waiting on cookie support for some of the projects that I am working on. Rich has said that he plans on adding cookie support but he didn't have a time frame.
