You are seeing both a cookie sessionID and a path sessionID because the
current code tries to use cookie sessions when possible.  So it sends both a
cookie sessionID and a path sessionID, and if it gets a cookie sessionID in
a request then it assumes cookies are enabled and stops sending the path
sessionID.

I have added a new setting into CVS "UseCookieSessions" that you can set to
False to prevent cookies from being used for sessions at all.  This should
give you the behavior you're looking for.  You'll need to update
HTTPResponse.py from CVS and add UseCookieSessions = False to your
Application.config.
