The Tomcat code will not be changed to behave in this way.
The secure attribute is intended for use in architectures like:
client <--https--> httpd <--http/ajp--> tomcat
Depending on where the session is created, you might be able to use a
filter to wrap your response and modify the secure attribute of any
cookies as they are added to the response.
