There is a bug in IE dealing with re-directs and SSL. I forget how it works
but it went something like this:

Login page invalidates session.
User enters user ID and password.
Login page re-directs to target page
>>> IE Generates spurious additional request to login page which again
invalidates the session.

If you have pages that invalidate the session, you might want to take a look
at them.

Also, if you have a network protocol analyzer like Ethereal on Linux
watching the packet flow can help you sort it out.

Subject: Losing session in Internet Explorer 5x


Hi,

Am using Tomcat 4.1.1.2.

My web application uses javascript to open new windows
for certain activities, and on random occasions I seem
to be losing the user session, so that I have to
re-login (we're using our own authentication system
that simply stores a userid in HttpSession). Has
anybody else seen this, and is there anything I can do
about it? It's also been happening with Tomcat 4.0.

thanx
