Description:
------------
I'm expiriencing a very wierd coincident where my session cookie is dropped when using Konqueror.

I can reproduce the bug every time I try in my system. However I havn't been able to make a simple example.

What happens is:

I log in, navigate a little around, open a window with JavaScript window.open(), after this my session cookie is lost and Konqueror have gotten a new PHPSESID cookie. I can verify that the session still exists (we store it in a database), however when printing session_id() out, it seems Konqueror have sent out a wrong PHPSESID, which is possibly because the real session id was lost somewhere in the prior request, and now it have gotten a new one from the system during that request.

So somewhere between Konquerors request and PHP the cookie is lost. Now I would not think of this as a bug in PHP, but rather the browser, however I've tried the following:

All versions of Konqueror from 3.0.3 to 3.1.4 looses the cookie.

No other browsers I know of has this problem.

Downgrading to mod_php 4.3.2 resolves this problem, so somethings changed from 4.3.2 -> 4.3.3

This seems to imply that the bug must reside in PHP, still Konqueror must do something special with the session cookie compared to other browsers.

I use PHP with Apache2, and I get no error reports in the log files.

I know this is of little help, but it's the best I can do for the moment.

Bugs in Konqueror don't belong here, report it to the KDE folks.

(sessions work just fine with PHP 4.3.4RC2-dev and Galeon, Mozilla, opera, IE..etc..)

is this a Konqueror bug?!
