Disconnected, okay. Lose your cart... why? Cookies and sessions existed back then.
- useful 7y agocookies are sent with every request, you were lucky to have >28k modem back then. Json didn't really exist, xml was king. There were plenty of reasons. Apache needed a mod to store a session in a cookie instead of a url and HTTPS was really hard to do. Java had its way, PHP had another, ASP had another... everything was different and there were no patterns.
- rongenre 7y ago56k modems were pretty routine by 1999 and ISDN (It still does nothing) was a thing. But by 2000, DSL rollouts were starting to happen.
