That might work (assuming you change the cookie properties to strip out HttpOnly), but only until it times out. Most of the time that falls apart later on because of the limitations of those Ajax requests and the error handling, but to be clear I didn't realize you meant you were making Ajax calls, I assumed it was just a web service.
