[hunchentoot-devel] Redirecting preserving the session?

[Hans Hübner]

Andrei,

Cookies are set in the browser by the Set-Cookie header, and the
redirect itself has no influence on what cookies the browser sends to
the server.  I would recommend that you set
HUNCHENTOOT:*HEADER-STREAM* to *STANDARD-OUTPUT* and observer when and
if the session cookie gets set and is sent back.  The session cookie
is set by Hunchentoot when START-SESSION is called.  Using the header
debug output, you should be able to trace what's going on and maybe
give us a more detailed description of what your problem is.
