Well, I believe this scenario is quite unlikely, since the login-form
(running as https) usually is the first page to be displayed.
Let me twist your words a bit ;)
If the session is created *after* the login-form, that means it's
created while using HTTP, there shouldn't be any problems left except
for the Session-Cookies which might be hijacked, right?
So would following scenario work?
- login using form-based login via https
- when successful:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
// guess that shoudln't happen
if (session != null) {
session.invalidate();
}
session = request.getSession (true);
Looks ok to me - you comments?
