Question about the "EncodeUrlState" - option

Hi!

When I switch the "EncodeUrlState" - option in
the application configuration file to "auto",
I get the following behaviour:
(Cookies are activated in the browser)

The first page I call with the browser is
generated with the "jsessionid" extension for
each link existing on the page.

The second and any further page I call with the browser has
no "jsessionids" anymore.

Is this normal? Shouldn't Enhydra realize
at the first page, that cookies can be used?

I'm using Enhydra 3.1b2 and IE6 here.

TIA

Thorsten
