On the server running ColdFusion, but you can have some serious issues
on load-balanced servers with session variables.

when using ColdFusion with distributed configuration you should store the

Hmm.. I don't think this is correct. My site doesn't pass tokens in order to
keep session variables or cookies.
When a user first lands on my http site, I set sessions/cookies and pass
them to our cart which is https and both of them are transferred just fine

One work around I have had for this - is to force the users to the secure

are hardcoded to https://www.yoursite.com -=- that way I know the URL and
can help ensure the session variables stay intact... (Once they go

Good feedback. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has had some struggles here.
I'm not the CF admin for the production sites I use, so I'm a bit unsure of
exactly what is configured. But on my test site, when I look at my session
variables, sessionid is always correctly set, whether http
happens to session variables
across this transition? It looks to me as though they are all there, but I've
observed a few unusual situations where that isn't always the case.
Any practical experience or pointers to documentation about this would be
appreciated
No, from a cookie perspective, http://mysite.com and https://mysite.com
are 2 different domains, so you need to send the session tokens across
the gap. Any of a number of approaches can work, but here's the quick
and dirty:
cflocation url=https://#mySecureURL#; addtoken=yes /
Or, if you are
Session data in ColdFusion is tied to unique combinations of user,
browser and domain. And the http and https versions of your website

viewed as two different domains. This is due to the normal behavior

problems with their session variables when logging now that it is using http.
Is this expected? Is there a session space that is different when using https

Am I explaining this well? If not, please ask questions
Since then, anyone that tried to log in when it was using
https is now having problems with their session variables
when logging now that it is using http.
Are you using the secure attribute when setting the cookies? Is the SSL

CFML relies on two values CFID and CFTOKEN, or a single value JSESSIONID
From a session perspective, the session cookie (the browser side of the
session) for https://www.mysite.com is *not* shared with the session
cookie for http://www.mysite.com. If crossing from one to the other,
therefore, there are 2 options:
1) User has to log back in after the switch
2)
I'm not setting cookies though, but session variables.

Ok, I found the cause:
onSessionStart()
cfset THIS.sessionTimeout = #CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10)#
cfoutput#THIS.sessionTimeout #/cfoutput
outputs 10. Which means 10 days since the createTimespan() function returns
units of days (eg CreateTimespan(1,0,0,0)eq 1 and CreateTimespan(0,12,0,0) eq
0.5)

Not really. You still need to lock around any potential race conditions.
Perosnally I tend not to lock reads and always lock writes, unless
there is a race condition possibility on the read, in which case I
