As far as I know, http://www.app.com/ and https://www.app.com/ are supposed to be allowed to share cookies on standard ports.

Not sure how tomcat does that, but it shouldn't allow a session that was created on HTTPS to switch to HTTP. Filip -----Original Message----- From: Zabel, Ian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 9:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Session lost between HTTPS and HTTP All; We are having a chronic problem that is causing a lot of trouble with our application's users. In our app, we authenticate users on our HTTPS server and then serve the homepage also on HTTPS. All links on the homepage to the other pages in our app switch the user to the same url on HTTP. If a user's session is created on HTTPS (https://www.app.com <https://www.app.com/> ), when they are switched over to HTTP (http://www.app.com <http://www.app.com/> ) the session cookie is not sent by the browser and they therefore lose their session. NOTE: This is not a problem if the user's session is created on HTTP. The session is created on HTTP, they authenticate over HTTPS and then are switched back to HTTP, and their session is maintained with no problems. Our workaround has been to pass the jsessionid on the url wherever we can, but there are places we can't do this. We did not start having this problem until we switched from Apache/ServletExec to Apache/Tomcat4.0.x/mod_jk. We are using Apache with OpenSSL to serve our HTTPS pages. Is it valid for a cookie created on HTTPS to be sent to the same exact URL on HTTP?
