Session problem when using Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP sp1

           Summary: Session problem when using Internet Explorer 6.0 on
                    Windows XP sp1
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.29
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina

Hi all

I have a major problem persisting sessions (HttpSession) on the mentioned 
platform. Here is an example:

session.setAttribute("Test","Test");

When I reload the browser the "Test" attribute is gone.

This problem arose when I put on Service Pack 1 for Win XP.

Here is a short introduction to my webapp architecture:

- I have an apache 1.3 installed, with mod_jk.
- I have implemented a frontcontroller pattern. One servlet receives all 
requests and forwards them, depending on a set of rules, to a jsp page.

As mentioned earlier. It all works fine in other browsers for example Mozilla. 
But not in Explorer 6.0 on WinXP sp1.
