And you understand that authentication and session tracking are two
different things?

The session ID can be a hidden form parameter.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html

hidden controls
    Authors may create controls that are not rendered but whose values are submitted with a form. Authors generally use this control type to store information between client/server exchanges that would otherwise be lost due to the stateless nature of HTTP (see [RFC2616]). The INPUT element is used to create a hidden control.
