Ok, I'm going to bite... can you explain what IE's ^Super Cookie^ is? I've
never heard of this reference before and I'm quite interested.

Hi,

Has anyone put the Internet Explorer ^Super Cookie^ to use ?

For the particular app I am working on, I can guarantee that all the
user are connecting with IE over ssl.  Plus they all (mainly) go
through a router from the same LAN, thus appear to have the same IP.

I am currently logging the super cookie to try and determine if it
really is unique enough.

Regards

Ian
