Make a second request :-).
When a session is first created, Tomcat has no way to know if cookies are
enabled or not, so it sends the session ID both ways (as cookies and as
rewritten URLs) in that first response. If the session ID comes back in as a
cookie, Tomcat says "aha, this user supports cookies so I will stop rewriting
the URL." Otherwise, it continues using rewriting.
Note: Tomcat 3.1 has a very large number of bugs (relative to the most recent
beta of Tomcat 3.2). I would suggest you upgrade.
