That does. I've used Achilles to reproduce the 'pathname vulnerability
issue' with other browsers. My guess is that there are more issues with
unchecked client data being sent but I need to find one that does more
than show me a pathname to get the developer to seem to care. I think a
pathname is a big deal but it doesn't seem to be to them.

Two tools for working with predictable SessionIDs are OWASP's
WebScarab (java based) which is a web audit toolkit including an
interception proxiy, a sitelogger, and a session editor among other
things. This will allow you to play with any header or the sessionID.
Another tool that may be useful (though I have not used much yet) is
an add-on to the Mozilla Firefox browser called MagPie tools. It is
downloaded from the firefox plug-in page. It can increment and
decrement digits in the URL (if that is where the session ID is held)
and some other tricks, YMMV.
There is also Achilles another interception proxy toolkit. Similar to
WebScarab but not Java based. It is also a little more stable that
webscarab which has been updated since I last used it extensively
I hope this helps some
