Browser History

[discGolfer]

Hi all,

I am having an issue with the ability for my web app to "go back" very far when navigating backwards through the history pages of the web browser. I want the user to be able to go back to the default page of the application without using the SiteMapPath.

I tried adding this code to the web.config file, but it didn't seem to do anything in terms of increasing the history size.

<sessionPageState historySize="2147483647"/>

(2147483647 being the upper bound of an Int32 data type)

The reason I don't want to use the SiteMapPath is because I am receiving a token value in the URL for the default page which validates the user's session against another Web Reference. I don't want to save the token in the session state variable for security concerns, so I just want to navigate back to it through the web browser.

Any input would be very helpful!!!

You probably know more than I on this topic but would it be possible to encrypt/decrypt the token before/after storing it in the session?

You may have given me an idea. I'll get back when I've had a chance to test...
