ucw apps work fine without cookies, though you lose "pretty" urls. the
cookie code is very simplistic and does not keep track of whether the
client accepts cookies or not, so we always set bot the cookie and the
request parameter for forms.

<ucw:form does have an action parameter, are you talking about
simple-form? if you are then not that simple-form is, well, a simple
form widget. if you want something more complicated just implement one
(you'll notice that simple-form is a total of 10 lines of code).
