Well how does it work? Is it advertised as M$ magic in the class? 
Is http not stateless? 

I don't follow your description and I don't believe in magic.

Is it using cookies? If not what? It must be using something?

I bet it's using cookies. Sounds a lot like what you normally do with 
sessions. I don't follow the "send message from one session to 
another" ... is this not just normal course for sessions?  I'd like 
more explanation before I believe that this is any more than just a 
module.
