My suspicion is that this is an IIS problem, not IE. The original description said the problem did not occur using the http server bundled with Webware, and I'll bet it doesn't occur using apache either. It could be that IIS is filtering the response headers before sending them back - disclaimer: I've never used IIS. :)
You can test if the cookie is reaching your browser by turning on cookie prompting. In IE 6, go to Tools->Internet Options -> Privacy, click "Advanced" and turn on Prompt for all cookies. There is a similar feature in Netscape. See if the cookie is being sent down to the client at all (using either browser). - Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ian Bicking Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 1:23 PM To: Max Ischenko Cc: Webware discuss Subject: Re: [Webware-discuss] Strange error with session handling On Thu, 2003-06-05 at 15:06, Max Ischenko wrote: > Hi! > > I've encountered a strange error during development of my site. > > Brief desc. of the site logic. > Servlet A is a "start page".

I'm betting the session ID isn't being sent to the client in Servlet A, because of the redirect -- IE and cookies and redirects and some other stuff all interact badly. Once you get to Servlet B, you get a new session ID which you keep for later, so then Servlet A works again. Resolution? Not sure. Maybe someone else is more familiar with tricks to get IE to accept both cookies and redirects at the same time.
