[mapguide-internals] MG CreateSession

[Haris Kurtagic]

It is not important what IP it is. It would be important that server
returns IP which was used to connect to that server at first place.

For example you could have current web extension talking to internal
MG server on machine e.g. 192.168.0.3.
Server would accept that connection and command but when creating
session id would use default 127.0.0.1 to pack inside session id
string.
Next command using that session id would fail.
To make this scenario work you would need to set in server config IP
(192.168.0.3) of machine to be used in session id.

It would be much more cleaner that server would simple use IP of TCP
connection which was used to execute create session command and then
pack that IP into session id string.
