Name: MHTML::SID-PREFIX

Section: Session Operators

Synopsis:

`mhtml::sid-prefix`

Description:

When this variable is present, the `PATH` component of a returned `Set-Cookie` MIME header is set to its value. Normally, the value of `MHTML::RELATIVE-PREFIX` is used.

If you need to use `MHTML::SID-PREFIX`, you probably have a very complex directory structure, and the need for every page access to have a cookie associated with it. In this case, setting `MHTML::SID-PREFIX` will have the effect of flattening your directory structure in the browser's view.

Generally, correctly written Meta-HTML applications do not need to use this variable, and it might be used in only the most complicated of Web sites, with multiple sessions per connectee, etc.

The explanation of HTTP Cookies is beyond the scope of this document. Reference information on Cookies can be found through this link.
