On a related note:

When doing a secure post from a non-secure page, a new cfid and cftoken could wind up 
being generated if you are visiting with a Netscape browser (i.e. you lose state).  On 
your form submission page, unless you take steps to solve the problem, NN users could 
have a new session.  The form post works fine in IE.  

I just had this happen to me yesterday.  Hacked out a solution that passed the 
urltoken via the form post, and then reset cfid and cftoken to the original values on 
the post page.  I think part of the problem lies with NN thinking cookies for 
'abc.com' and 'www.abc.com' don't apply to one another.  Not sure about that, though.

I haven't fully researched this yet.  If anyone has specifics please pass 'em along.
