Description

One major downside to the fact that session ids may change (e.g. when logging in, to mitigate session fixation attacks) is that it can cause issues with functions that expect the session id to stay the same, like WServer::post.

We should find a way to fix this, e.g. by adding a session token that changes, which should be provided in the wtd parameter (or in an additional parameter), while the session id stays the same for use in functions like WServer::post.
