Pathname modified with IE

Question

I have a web site in IIS. When I open it with FireFox I have my path name like this :

http://WebSiteName/ControllerName/ViewName

So in IE 10 I have a string add between web site name and controller name :

WebSiteName/ (F(tXsULdieggBmidgAHhBWIArSZGI2xTHXKFUmtUdW5_3o3hUeInshtdta4A7JUWV13w6_HbIoXQOg3Q3NHJcIX5_TYPCZIg5LecfxTOYMCec1))/ControllerName/ViewName

I don't understand this, any help would be appreciated!

thank you.

That looks like asp.net session data when you have set the Session Cookie Settings Mode to Use URI, in your web.config check for:

<system.web>
    <sessionState cookieless="UseUri" />
</system.web>

when using this setting, the session data is embedded in the url, rather than a cookie. It's normally not recommended to do this.

In theory it should behave the same way in Firefox.
