If they +then open the http site and do something that needs them logged in, it will +try to log them in again. But, the https-only cookie is apparently not +replaced by the http login cookie. The login will "succeed", but the cookie +is inaccessible over https and so they'll not be really logged in. + +I think that the only fix for this is make the login page redirect from +http to https, and for it to return to the https version of the page that +prompted the login. --[[Joey]] |
