Note that the server ignores the values that were saved when the record was recorded, and the server uses the cookie that the browser generates. If the record header does not include a session cookie, the browser does not send a cookie. Although you can edit session cookies, the changes do not take effect on most servers. The reason is because the session's cookie ID is read before the request enters the servlet container.
