Hardly the only means though. Putting the username in the URL works
wonders. It works through firewalls, and unlike cookies it can easily
move from one computer to another. I frequently roll my chair from my
Mac OS 9 box to my Mac OS X laptop to my Linux workstation depending
on what I need to do. It's a problem if the same URLs on one system
don't show me the same result as the URLs on the others.
