In partial response to my own question.. more information The session cookies are definitely being dropped. When requesting a web page, the request looks like: GET /test/servlet/serv?yadda+yadda HTTP/1.1 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Referer: http://mars:8180/test/servlet/serv?foo=bar Accept: text/html, image/jpeg, image/png, text/*, image/*, */* Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, x-deflate, gzip, deflate, identity Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en Host: mars:8180 Cookie: JSESSIONID=53A38D13CF523DE55D5BD79BDE9BC734 In the page served by this request, the java applet request a picture and the request looks like this: GET /test/html/images/testpic.jpg HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Java/1.4.2 Host: mars:8180 Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2 Connection: keep-alive In the case of Mozilla, other browsers (and previous Konqueror revisions), the "Cookie:" line appears in the request made from the java applet. I don't want to modify the behavior of my applet just in the case of Konqueror.. is there a fix for this? Regards, John Morris ___________________________________________________ .
