Losing cookie information when passing from http to https

[ol...@airfrance.fr]

Hi !

Our SOAP Axis client sends first request in http, and then switches to https.
It then loses the cookie information (taking a look at the Http header shows
that the "Cookie" tag is not there any more).
Actually, this happens in the setTargetEndpointAddress() method of the Call
object. The source code tests whether the protocol is the same, and if not,
creates another Transport object, losing consequently the cookie information
that is necessary to maintain the session.
The comment written in the source code is the following :
            // Technically the session data should be in the message
            // context so that it can be persistent across transports
            // as well, but for now the data is in the Transport object.
Does this mean that this feature is not what have been wanted ? Or that this is
going to change in a future version ?
If so, how is it possible to keep the same Transport object or to initialise
the other Transport object with the same data ?
I tried to use the registerTransportForURL() method of the Service class but
this method can be used only inside the package...
Thanx in advance for any hint on this topic.

Regards,

Olivier

If somebody here has a nice and neat way to overcome this problem, I'd be grateful to hear from her.
