I just read up on how .net implements SOAP (XMLRPC's half-brother) --
and found this comment:

"ASP.NET session state is maintained by using one of two underlying
mechanisms. The first is by using HTTP cookies. "
(the second one is by URL-rewriting.) this is from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ 
dnservice/html/service08062002.asp

Cookies are, in fact, an integral part of the HTTP spec, so as
long as XMLRPC is being transported via HTTP, they are a viable
alternative.

Since I prefer not to clutter my code with SID's, I'm going to go
ahead and add cookies to phpxmlrpc.  If I get it in cleanly,
I'll send it to the list. Those not interested don't have to use
it. :)

thanks for the reply!
