Hi,
i don't know of a recipe using this, but the setting is:
$EnablePostAttrClearSession = 0;
Searching for this string it only comes up on
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ChangeLog and
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ReleaseNotes
and it was implemented with 2.0 beta 24
I am using this setting with big success, but this is not exactly what
you are searching for i guess.
Best Regards,
Tom
