[Zope3-dev] z3 webserver bug?

[Roger Ineichen]

Hi together

I have a strange error. 
There is a page with a link running on a SSL webserver (not z3).
This link points to a apache webserver where rewrites the 
URL pointing to a z3 server. The page where the link is shown
is a intranet and requires a login with cookies.

The URL of the server (not z3) showing the link is something like
https://foo.bar.com

The link where zope runns is something like:
http://something.bar.com 

The problem.
------------
If you click on the link on the SSL server (not z3), the cookie 
get send to the z3 server (See request below). Then the server is 
running into a CookieError because the z3 server don't know about 
this sent cookie from another SLL server (not z3).

I guess you can reproduce this if you simply put a link from a 
SSL server to a z3 server. Can somebody confirm this?

Question
--------
Why does the z3 server parse this cookie and end in a 
CookieError?

This happens useing ie 6.0 explorer.
