Chris,
Thanks again for the suggestion.
I've done some more debugging and found the problem...
The HTTP 1.0 compliant connector on Tomcat 4 throws away any cookies it
finds after the first session id cookie. If there's no session id cookie,
or the session id cookie happens to be the last one in the list then
everything will work fine, but if it isn't then cookies appear to get lost.
This bug is not present in the HTTP 1.1 connector, but this runs
*significantly* slower with Cocoon on our test environments.
Here's the problem code in Tomcat:

I'll double check I've got the latest copy and then post this to the
Tomcat list.
Stuart.
P.S. Anyone know why the Tomcat 4.0 HTTP 1.1 connector is so much slower
with Cocoon?
