Passing ID from Browser Tab/Window/Page to Server (ASP.NET MVC)

Question

I create and safe a Browser Windows GUID in the sessionstorage on client side via javascript. So it stays alive until the tab is closed.

Now I want to pass this information on every request from this specific browser window to the server side so I can access it on any time without passing it with the model.

I use ASP.NET MVC. So there is no ViewState available if I'm right.

I thought about adding and accessing a custom field in the HTTP Header or something similar. I try to find something to accomblish that. So I need some ideas.

Thank you

Once you set the Cookies, it shall be pass with every HTTP request to the server. And in the Controller you can access Cookie via

HttpCookie cookie = HttpContext.Request.Cookies.Get("cookie_name");

Thank you. Are there good alternatives in case the browser refuses Cookies? – Palmi Oct 09 '14 at 18:28
Another option is to pass it as query string with every request. – Arun Ghosh Oct 10 '14 at 02:54
