This could include checking things like user agent, acceptable languages, but better by adding data that changes on each request via cookie, form field, etc (call this the SINGLEUSEID).


I see some problems with the usability (browser's back-button and concurrent HTTP requests for images) when implementing session IDs which are only valid for the next hit.


For the use of a querystring or forms variable, yes. However in the case of a cookie things should work fine, even with back button since the new cookie will be transfered.
