Me or the original poster?

If MAC Addresses are passed in the http cycle that is certainly news to me since I've never heard of that. Obviously switches and hubs use Mac addresses at the TCP/IP layer, but remember that the TCP/IP layer is a separate layer from the http cycle layer.

I don't believe the MAC address is passed in a TCP/IP request, this is used by the networking (switches & routers) layer only.

Passing MAC addresses around the internet seems like it could lead to people spoofing other people's machines easily, so that's probably why it isn't done.

Generally in a web app you record the user's browser using a cookie (which is tied to a session) and you record the user's IP address. I've never heard of anyone recording a MAC address.
