Ok, this is a really hard problem to describe, so please be patient and read
everything as carefully as possible.

I have a page (foo.html) which can only be accessed when a proper cookie is sent
with the request (ie: you have to be logged in and the cookie has to be valid on
the server side).

The page has code in it like this:

<form method="POST" action="foo.html">
<select name="popupmonth" onChange="this.form.submit();">
...
</select>
</form>

Now, I can access this page just fine and I can view source on this page just fine.

The problem comes up whe I click the popup menu to submit the page with new data
, get a new page of html (which is fine), and then I try to *view source* on the
returned result.

In that case, when I view source, for whatever reason, the cookie is not being
sent/used again and the result is that I see different html than what I should
be seeing. I see my 'login' page which is what you get redirected to when the
session cookie is not sent.

I'm sorry for wasting time. Suddenly, I can't reproduce it in either browser.
