We had some problems with Netscape loosing session information, it turned to be an
inconsitancy in the FQDN of the server, e.g.
mixing www.fashionjunction.com and www.me.net or the ip address. Initially we had
redirects going to
"http://www.me.com/servlet/....." but we replaced all these with "/servlet/...", also
when we explicitly specified the port number
(e.g. http://www.me.com:80) we had problems.
We thought we were doing "the right thing" by putting in the redirect / form action
code something like:
e.g. to get from a doGet() to the same servlet's doPost().
req.getScheme() + "://" + req.getServer() + ":" + req.getServerPort() +
req.getServletPath()
but we replaced all this with just req.getServletPath() and it cured all the session
problems.
Hope this is of some help,
..Chris.
