rest

I guess this question will sound familiar, but I am yet another programmer baffled by REST.

I have a traditional web application which goes from StateA to StateB and so on If the user goes to (url of) StateB, I want to make sure that he has visited StateA before. Traditionally, I'd do this using session state.

Since session state is not allowed in REST, how do I achieve this?
