Right, but even in this case you would have to know before the initial
request whether cookies are supported. You could build a proxy that
does this before the initial request hits the Seaside application. Or
a static html page that would contain JavaScript and "forward to
Seaside".

And finally an other option would be to add the cookie as well as the
_s parameter to the very first response. As soon as we have a session
cookie we can drop the _s parameter. Seaside does currently not
support this as this depends on the J2EE refactoring.
