OK! But that will not answered my question, why is my own perl script
not getting a lot of the IC pages with the same session id, if I use the
GET methode and tell IC the session id with "id=nnnnnnnn" and so on. I
call some IC page with
"http://www.mylocaldomain/cgi-bin/mylocalcatalogs/....?id=nnnnnnnn...."
and I get a new session id in my each stored HTML-Files from the IC as a
HTML-files.

For example:
1)
You have a perl script, which is calling an IC page and store it as a
file to get the current session id
2)
the same perl script read the content of the IC page to get the current
session id from the file of 1)
3)
at the next time, you call all other IC page with the GET methode and
the current session id of same perl script
 is getting another session id suddenly. Why?
4)
I've tried with id=nnnnnnnn and mv_session_id=nnnnnnnnn in my perl
script, but I get a new session id in ma every stored HTML-files.
5) all IC server, catalogs and perl script is running on the same local
machine (IP: 192.168.x.x).

With many thanks for any helps and suggestions
