Behaviour of #initialRequest:/#updateUrl differs when using session cookies.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When overriding WAComponent>>>#initialRequest: and #updateUrl: to create 
REST-ful urls, with 
session cookies enabled via WASessionConfiguration>>>#useSessionCookie, the 
changes to the 
URL are reverted.

To sum it up:
When you enter a "REST-ful url" into an application that has session cookies 
enabled first "page" will lack any 
paramters passed to it with #updateUrl:

probably the redirect to test the cookie isn't passing on the GET parameters?

Ok, I see the specific problem:

WARequestContext>>respondAndContinue: can't use the #actionUrl that was passed 
into
the request context by the session continuations because it needs a link to a
different continuation. As a result, it calls 
WASession>>actionUrlForContinuation: to
get a new URL but the components and session have not had a chance to update 
that URL
so we lose the extra parameters.

#respondAndContinue: is used by #testSessionCookie and #redirectWithCookie:, 
among
others.

So what's the right fix? I'm not sure. It might be better to have the session 
call
#updateUrl: on its own root object in #actionUrlForKey: except that the root 
object
is not currently stored on the session. It might be best to look at this again 
after
the painter refactoring is merged into the trunk.

- no more redirects for testing and setting the session cookie
- session key are always Strings, no need to send #seasideString
