Do you know what URL rewriting does? Have you seen it in action? If so, you should be in a good position to speculate how it works. Why don't you describe to us how you think it might work, and we'll comment on your answer.
It would be good if you refer to 2-3 books and online resources before bombarding with each and every doubt you have. These doubts might already have been answered on this forum or any other.
So do some Google search and then probably if you are not able to solve it then only put it in a thread so that people come to know about it.

I think Jothi has been really helpful by asking such questions which i would never think of!!
What server would so for the firs-time, it would use cookies and url-rewriting. From second request onwards, it would see if any cookies are available, if cookies are available it would mean client supports them or else if will fall pack on url-rewriting.

URL Rewriting is basically a mechanism of preserving session in case the browser is not cookie enabled. Here, the URLs are always appended with the sessionId so that the client can always send back this seesionId to the server. In case cookies are supported by the browser, then the sessionId is sent as a cookie and URL rewriting is not required.
