Description

Is there any way to hide the session id in the url although "reload-is-new-session" is set to "false"?
My wt_config.xml looks like follows:

...
Auto
false
false
false
...

I can see that a cookie is set in the browser and the application also does receive the cookie.
The session id always stays in the url unless i set "reload-is-new-session" to "true" but thats not what I want.
I'm using WT 4.12.5 with wthttp connector.

It seems my configure option from wt_config.xml doesn't get showed up. So here again:

tracking=Auto
reload-is-new-session=False
session-id-cookie=false
cookie-checks=false

Hi Achim,

Where is the url you are talking about?

Is it in the logs or in the url bar of the browser?

Hi Romain,

I'm talking about the url bar in the browser.

I do not manage to reproduce your issue.

Are these the only option you changed?

What browser are you using and are you using special options?

Do you have a small test case that reproduces the bug?

Hi Romain,

yes, those are the only options I set. All other options are set to their default values. I've attached my wt_config.xml.
I've tested it with several Browsers (Edge, Chrome, Firefox) and no special options are set.
The issue occurs on every app I run, including the wt examples from you.

So maybe it is not a bug but rather a misunderstanding on my side.
Our customer doesn't want to see the session id in the url for security reasons. But setting "reload-is-new-session" to true is not an option for us.
So the question is: Is there any way to get rid of the session id in the url in this case?
