I've created some HttpHandlers to handle some AJAX requests which work fine.

However I cannot access the CurrentUser, the page has the current user, i make a request to one of the handlers, the current user doesn't exist, infact it has an absolutely new sessionid.

If i refresh the page, the current user is still there, they have their normal sessionid, i hit the handler, user is gone, different session id.

I don't know what DNN is doing behind the scenes but I don't get this issue with sessions/security when not using DNN.  

Can somebody tell me how i can get access to the current user from a handler.

Using:

UserInfo userInfo = (UserInfo)context.Items["UserInfo"];

Does not give me the current user, because the session is different.

Cheers.
