It is my understanding that all the client browser cookies are stored in the
memory of the process running IIS. I am aware that you could store these
cookies in a DB, or in a different process, but I'm fine with the level of
access where cookies are in the same IIS process.

The thing is, how do you set session variable in the Web Application
(browser side), and render them available to an underlying Web Service?
Moving session variables between 2 WebForms of a same Web Application is
fine, but between the Client and the the Server (Web Service), it fails...
Anything in particular I could be doing wrong?
I know I could pass session variables as arguments to the methods of my Web
Services, but I think it is cleaner to retrieve session data directly from
the server cookies...
Any suggestion is appreciated, cheers!
