[imp] strange logout if not using fqdn/no session id in mozilla > 1.0?

[Markus Krause]

hi all,

like reported in my mail with subject "edit filter rules -> session timeout" i
have encountered a strange problem (sorry for starting a new thread but i think
this subject tells more about the problem), (still) using newest cvs:

the problem is, that a user is logout with the message "your mail session has
expired" if he clicks on "options" -> "filters" -> "edit your filter rules" (in
the horde log file it says "session timeout [...] on line 83 of
"[...]/horde/imp/login.php"). if the user then enters his name and password he
comes (sometimes) directly to the page with the filter rules. this problem
occures with linux, win2k and win xp with ie 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, mozilla 1.2 and
1.4. somehow this does not happen when using mozilla 1.0 and opera! i looked at
the received html-code in opera and mozilla 1.2 (and ie) and it seems that the
urls in the code sent to opera has always a
"<whatever>.php?Horde=<sessionid(?)>&<other_options>", the one in mozilla
1.2/1.4 and ie only is "<whatever>.php?<other_options>" ! (??)

not strange enough if i am using the fqdn "https://webmail.biochem.mpg.de" it
works with all browsers, if it is just "https://webmail" the problem is back
again!

and this only seems to happen with exactly that one "klick" on "edit filter
rules"!

i read in the mailing list archive (and the notice in horde/config/conf.php)
about the problem with path for the cookies and changed it in every thinkable
way (also changed the DocumentRoot/webroot in httpd.conf and register.conf) but
with no positive effect!

any hints??

it's really sad because (almost) everything else is working really great here
(except the incorrect filename when downloading attachments with some ie's, but
that is not really important right now) and our big boss really likes the newly
started horde-project as new webmail interface very much!

thanks in advance for your patience and help!
