SSL *can* be trickier, but it isn't typically. SSL involves its own concept of a session between the client and the server. This session can in principle be used by a Servlet/JSP container as a key for its own HttpSessions. In this case, shutting down a web server process could theoretically destroy sessions in the JVM, even though the two are logically separate. Either way, however, unplugging the network cable shouldn't have an effect. The important thing to realize about the stateless nature of IP and HTTP is that a machine that's unplugged from the network for 10 minutes is virtually the same as a machine that simply isn't accessed for 10 minutes. No real "connection" is severed. (I've been told that some versions of IE, however, tend to restart SSL sessions fairly frequently, even when unnecessary, so this could make things moderately more difficult to diagnose. But for sessions based on cookies or URL rewriting, these SSL sessions have no effect on the Servlet/JSP session.)
