WebApp Sec: Re: How to create (hijacking) secure HTTP sessions?

["Adam Tuliper" <amt () gecko-software com>]

Beginning with ie5, ssl session id is renegotiated every two minutes during 
the same session.
Http session ids based on this method would no longer remain valid then.
In addition, I dont believe this field is readily available to most web 
developers, at least on the ms platform.
