The discussion on this thread seems to focus on the question if maintaining
sessions
across the http / https change is secure or not.

While I do agree that it is not secure to do so and I also acknowledge that
it is 
common practise to do so (eg. Hotmail) the question remains what is the
correct
interpretation (and therefore implementation) of the session semantics as
stated in
the Servlet specification.

I understand Tomcat 3.3 is the reference implementation for the 2.2 Servlet 
specification while Tomcat 4 is the reference implementation for the 2.3
Servlet specification. I don't think the section on Sessions has changed
between the two
specifications. Why does Tomcat 4 implement a different session behaviour
than 
Tomcat 3.3 if they are both based on essentially the same specification?
