[TC4.01] Session Not Established on Mac IE?

[Scott Jones <sc...@on-sitemanager.com>]

Hello,

I just got off the phone with the first person using Mac OS to use our
website since we upgraded to Tomcat 4.0.1 (from Tomcat 3.3).  He was
unable to log into our site using Internet Explorer 5 on OS 9.  We still
had an instance on a development machine that used Tomcat 3.3, on which
he experienced no problems.  

It appears that his session is never getting established at all -- my
first thought was that he might have cookies disabled (I do not do URL
rewriting currently, although that would probably fix the problem). 
After having him try our Tomcat 3.3 instance, it was clear that cookies
are enabled, so that isn't the problem.  

My only other thought is that the JSESSIONID is a lot larger on Tomcat 4
-- is it possible that Mac IE5 cannot accept cookies that are longer
than a certain amount?

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac here to play with so that I could
really help track this down -- has anyone else experienced anything like
this?

Thanks!

-Scott

Hello, I have had this happen to me as well.  The person who is helping me
in production with the web site cannot log on via IE on her Mac as well (OS
9 i believe)... She has no problem though using Netscape on her Mac to the
web page (it is Tomcat 4.0.1, now 4.0.2)... Her netscape is 6 i believe...

I never had a chance to look into it, but at least someone else is
experiencing this problem too...  I hope someone out there may know how to
handle this problem.
