[cobalt-users] occasional session error SSL form refresh problem.



We have a shopping cart I've written in PHP/MySQL that works on the client
site and when the user goes to put in their personal and CC info goes over
to my secure server like so

keep shopping here:
http://www.sitename.co.uk
now checkout over here:
https://mysecuresite.com/~user

The original site uses a session ID to maintain the cart.

Very occasionally when the user is over on the secure area when they press
the button to submit some details to the DB and move to the next page they
get an error from the browser and the page doesn't display. Hitting refresh
loads the page, but I've lost the session ID so I can't complete the
transaction.

Anyone any ideas about fixing the problem, or even what the problem actually
is?

I guess I could use a cookie on the secure site, but would rather not have
to rely on it.

Much obliged,
Liam
