The servlet engine generates session ids as parameters to HTTP path segments (as specified in rfc-2396), see the example for how the URLs look like. The session id parameter is stripped when we do a redirect(and we do ofcourse loose the associated user session). This is not a problem if we use mod_rewrite without redirecting and query parameters are also part of the redirect.
Here is the relevant extract from httpd.conf : RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/pubs/somesite/(.*$) /$1 [R] >How-To-Repeat: http://prodtest.somesite.de/pubs/somesite/template/;$sessionid$3QJML0YAAAAADQFIAHWCFEQ >Fix: I think the mod_rewrite module should keep path segment parameters when it does a redirect. I haven't looked into the source code to have any specific suggestion on fixes in the code. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
