Question

How can create session used with in idhttpserver ?

I tryed alot of ways to do but I can't able to reach session object in ARequestInfo.Session or AResponseInfo.Session these are both of them always nil. please help

procedure TFolsecPermissionManager.IdHTTPServerCommandGet(AContext: TIdContext;
  ARequestInfo: TIdHTTPRequestInfo; AResponseInfo: TIdHTTPResponseInfo);
var
  Command: TCommand;
  Session: TIdHTTPSession;
begin
  Session := IdHTTPServer.CreateSession(AContext, AResponseInfo, ARequestInfo);
  IdHTTPServer.SessionList.Add(Session);


  Command:= TCommand.Create;
  Command.Start(AContext, ARequestInfo, AResponseInfo);
end;

On a side note, you are leaking your TCommand object, as you are not freeing it when you are done using it — Remy Lebeau

Make sure that TIdHTTPServer.SessionState is set to True. Optionally, you can also set TIdHTTPServer.AutoStartSession to True as well. They are both False by default.

If both are True, you do not need to call CreateSession() manually, as it called automatically for every incoming request that does not carry a cookie for an existing session.

If SessionState=True and AutoStartSession=False, you do need to call CreateSession() manually when desired.

However, no matter what, do not call SessionList.Add() manually, as CreateSession() calls that internally for you. You don't want the SessionList holding multiple references to the same TIdHTTPSession object.
