Doesn't it cause ASP.NET security to think that someone is hijacking the session and log off the user and lose all session data? It would appear that we can't use Image Uploader if this is the case.

So it is sensible to identify a request as sent by Image Uploader and not by browser. AFAIK, ASP.NET security is not affected by user agent field. This is a quotation from HTTP 1.1 RFC: “user agent: The client which initiates a request. These are often browsers, editors, spiders (web-traversing robots), or other end user tools.” Edited by user Sunday, February 24, 2008 6:39:27 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
