Ohhh, good thinking...!

You might know that a cookie can be set to be secure, and should then not be 
used for plain HTTP. I guess all browsers support that and won't send secure 
cookies over non-SSL connections.

Of course we can also find specifications for the specific situation you 
describe, but I doubt one can rely on those being implemented alike by all 
browsers. Like what happens while switching, and while using HTTP and HTTPS 
simultaneously. Maybe some browser sends back two cookies for SSL connections: 
both the HTTP and HTTPS cookies -- but then how would one tell from the HTTP 
header which is which... And another browser or a future version might do it 
differently I suppose. So: that's not going to help.

I assume the actual session handling is not done by Seam, right? (thus: one 
cannot use different cookie names for HTTP and HTTPS)
