Although many people have already posted cookieless session middlewares and related stuffs, but this one is just for only required views.

You can use this as a view decorator like:

@session_from_http_params
@login_required
def your_view(request):
     ...

This is very useful for those who use SWFUpload. Flash has a bug with sending cookies properly, so SWFUpload offers an workaround -- session key as a POST parameter.
