I have not read the source, so my question is: When not using cookies and having
URL-based sessions, where else would you store another authentication token?

I don't think this is possible, because if a user doesn't have cookies, all
there's left is HTTP Authentication [which only works with mod_php and not the
CGI] and the URI. The URI can be hijacked, so...there's nothing left to store
data in? All storage in $_SESSION will be available to the session-ID
hijacker...

Best regards,
Garvin
