Any language. It is not question of language. It is a question of
technology. Session module is not a core part of PHP. It is just an
extension, just like in ASP, JSP/Servlets and other. Any good
session handling object is written with cookie-less environment in
mind. Cookies OR url rewriting are the only available methods in HTTP
for the session propagation, and both are used.
Look at Amazon.com. What do you think those long meaningless digit
strings in urls do? They are nothing more than session identifiers.
Well, they at Amazon do extra work - they even don't remove SIDs when
cookies are enabled.
Then look at Sun.com. They use the same technology, just dig beyond
the first advertising pages to Sun's shop or something else that
requires a session to work - you'll see the SID in urls.
Of course, they use servlets/JSP.
Look at WROX site, they also munge cookies and run ASP.
Zope (the system in Python) also use both cookies and url rewriting
for session handling.
