Description

Rob Winch (Migrated from SEC-2865) said:

This is important so URL rewriting for something like Spring Session can take place

Things to consider:

  • Users may have customized the COOKIE name (i.e. it may be a path variable other than JSESSIONID)
  • Users may have path variables in their initial URL
