----------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> ----------------------------- Hi there, I've encoutered what seems to be a bug in IE4: From my main browser window, I'm popping up a small window to let the user enter some information. I expected this information to be shared between windows through the JServ session in the server. But with IE4, when active desktop is enabled, "sometimes" the small window gets assigned a new session. I've traced the cookies going back and forth, and there is the first session cookies going from JServ to IE, and as long as I stay in this window, everything's fine. but when I pop the small window, "sometimes" JServ doesn't receive any cookie, so it creates a new session, and then the two sessions are distinct. It's pretty much like if the two windows had separated cookie spaces; although this should not happen and I havn't been able to figure out when "sometimes" occurs. everything works fine with netscape, or when active desktop is deactivated, or with IE5. So there is probably a bug somewhere in IE4, but I couldn't find mention of it anywhere. I had noticed that I never had the same problem with my permanent cookies, so I recompiled JServ to make its session cookies permanent (300 sec maxAge). and then, magic! everything works. I guess this is because IE looks for permanent cookies from a shared space (the disk). So I was wondering: 1 - if anyone had the same problem before, and if not, how come ? 2 - if having the JServ's session cookies permanent could cause some trouble later (malfunciton, security issue, etc...) 3 - what I am gonna do with that, because right now it means I have to patch any future version of JServ to make session cookies persistent. jm. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
