Hi

> Actually, I'm a big advocate against staying in HTTPS, because of the
overhead.  However, this is a problem with Tomcat, because in the 4.x and
5.x lines it was decided by someone that if a session started in HTTPS it is
only valid in HTTPS (basically, the session cookie is turned into a secure
cookie only).

I do not understand this.
I always thought cookies where only valid for ONE domain and ONE Protocol,
so the following would be pairwise different and thus cannot share a cookie:

http://www.domaina.com <> http://www.domainb.com
http://www.domaina.com <> http://domainb.com
http://www.domaina.com <> https://www.domaina.com

Is my view wrong? Is there a way to "reattach" a session to a request, if
the old sessionID is kown?

Regards,
  Steffen
