tracks the information of where you (the URL of site) what

what do u mean by cookie, session-id?..

Answer / annad kumar

cookie is the peice of information that ur web client means
Internet explore or mogzilla or netscape will save the data
for u. for example when u type ur id and pass word it saves
as cookie and next time u type it shows the id below the
edit box u can select it press enter.
Cookie is useful to remind ur information on ur client
application instead of typing every time

Coming to Seession id When do u send a request to web
server after establishing a connection the server will give
a session id which uniquely identifis ur sesion of request
and the same time u may send other request from other
browser but from the same machine.then server gives u other
session id. whenever ur sending the request next time the
sesion id lets the server that the request belongs to that
particular session. We use session id's to make the server
a fool.










These session id's r much imporant for performance testers
using LOADRUnner y because while creating Vuser script the
session id given by system wiil be hord coded and at run
time other session id given by server but sequence of all
requests r recorded along with session id hard coded
Whenever 2 nd request goes to server the mismath occurs. So
we have to coorelate this session id to fool the server.
