268916 - Session.Abandon does not release the session information.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Greene]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)
Build Identifier: 

I have tested the Session object before and after the .Abandon method is called 
and the data is persisted, hence it doesn't abandon (delete) the information 
stored in the session object.  The same code works for both

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add data to the session object
2. use session.abandon
3. check that data exists in the session object

Actual Results:  
Session object was not cleared.

Expected Results:  
Session object should have been reset (cleared of all information)

You'll probably need considerably more detail to get anyone here fired up and
working on it: I had to ask Google what session.abandon might be, and it seems
to say that it's ASP's way of deleting a session. To me, that sounds like you
are reporting an ASP bug on Firefox. To make a Firefox dev excited about it, I'd
guess you'll need to be able to say something more like "calling session.abandon
sends this which should cause Firefox to do that but instead it does the other."
Only with detail, and a testcase.

I don't care how excited the developers are about fixing it... It is a huge 
problem being that a greater majority of websites are created in asp.

I have stopped using the browser because I cannot develop with it.

You do what you want with the fix, I am back to IE for now

Well, if anyone who uses ASP happens by, and can set up a testcase URL or tell
us what calling session.abandon sends over the wire, and how our response
differs from what ASP expects, don't hesitate to reopen.
