Strange servlet behaviour with tomcat 4

["Sergio G. Reus" <se...@f-integra.org>]

Hi,

We have several web sites based on servlets working with 
apache 1.3.23 + mod_ssl + tomcat 3.3 + mod_jk. We use an authentication
servlet to validate our users into the private part of the sites. We only 
use SSL to encapsulate the authentication servlet transactions.
Now we are trying tomcat 4 (with the same apache, mod_ssl & mod_jk version),
but the first call to the authentication servlet does not receive any
parameters. The second call receives the parameters correctly though. After
closing the browser and opening it again, the anomaly repeats. When we disable 
SSL in the calls to the servlet the problem disappears.
Despite debugging the code and inspecting tomcat/apache logs we have not 
detected the cause. Since the only thing that has changed in the scenario is 
tomcat (we have tried tomcat 4.0.3 and tomcat 4.0.4-beta3), could it be a problem 
in apache/ssl/tomcat4 interaction? a problem with http sessions?

Thanks in advance,

Sergio
