[SQU] Why SessionID variable (IIS) dies after coming through Squid ?

Hi.

While running Squid I found some problems with IIS servers. The problem is:
IIS sessions does not work with Squid.
When a user connects to IIS, the server sets the session identifier for this
user. This identifier lasts for at least 20 minutes so the user can be
easily identified by server. This helps developing coherent web application
out of a series of independent HTML pages.
Without proxy everything works fine. When using Squid - the session is reset
after every page (session ID is incremented), so the user is assumed as new
one.
Microsoft docs says that the session is maintained through the use of
cookies. However, cookies alone work great with Squid...
If you need further details I can send some of the Squid configuration, but
it has nothing unusual.

Piotr.
