Many frameworks (PHP and many J2EE implementations included) 
use "transparent" relocation of the cookie to GET, and 
coupled with GET state and poor authorization, replay is 
possible with poor quality apps.

This extremely irritating behavior can be stopped in PHP by setting a
php.ini variable ("use_only_cookies" if memory serves). However it is
only available since PHP version 4.3.0, again if memory serves.
