Welcome to the land of Internet Explorer. I bet you use Internet Explorer, don't you? Try Mozilla/Opera and you will see that I works fine. Some people didn't trust me yet that this problem you describe is a bug...
Follow these links to find out more: http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg74000.html http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg74194.html http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg73632.html Your after-timeout url with https:/host:8080 confirms me in my opinion that IE only changes the protocol from http to https instead of changing the port numbers, too. Don't know if it has something to do with the sessionids, too. That's the reason why the workaround works. If you change Tomcat to protocol standard ports 80/443 you will see that your problem disappears because the port numbers won't matter when changing the url for the ssl redirection. You may consider adding your experiences to the bug database. Maybe something could be done from Tomcat side, too: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13861 (Especially the issue after timing out is new and confirms the IE problem, but it might have something to do with the session, too...) mech > -----Original Message----- > From: Shatzer, Larry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Freitag, 22.
