I was looking at the aspnet_state.exe (sessionState mode = SessionState)
option for caching. I understand its benefits and limitations of using a
service that is in memory, can sit on a remote machine.
What i was curious about is how ASP.NET communicates with the state server.
Only thing i've found is its TCP port 42424 (by default). Does it use
remoting ? SOAP calls ? Proprietary ? I was hoping to be able to write a
widget that could connect to the state server outside of ASP.NET. Any one
done this ? Though of it ? Leads ?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be interested in hearing about this too.

No takers ?
I've started running some network captures and it looks like the
aspnet_state.exe service is connected to via HTTP requests. It looks like
there are some custom headers used to make it "WebDAV-ish".
I've started trying to manually retrieve values from the object using the
Net.HttpWebRequest object, but i haven't gotten it to work yet. I'll post
if i get anything working in a reliable fashion.
