I guess my question is: Are session cookies secure by default if a certificate is available? I know, I should just generate a certificate and test it, but was hoping you guys could save me that effort until I'm ready to mess with it :-) I ask, because it is my understanding that even if the entire site was https, an attacker could still hijack an insecure cookie and completely defeat my website's security...

Well thanks for your insight so far Guido! You're always a huge help, and I do appreciate it :-)


Hmm, according to the docs, it is not

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/WO541Reference/com/webobjects/appserver/WOCookie.html#isSecure()

So, my question now becomes: Where can I intercept the creation of the session cookie and make sure it is secure before sending it to the user?

Thanks everyone,

Ramsey
