The only time we've seen things jump to the login screen is when your
authentication is messed up.  Usually this is because of a bad session
name string.

What is your session name set to?

Been meaning to get back to you (in my to-do queue).  Cookies are better
than non-cookies.  But make sure your session name is valid and that
the cookie path is set correctly.

Should be okay as long as you do it correctly.

That could be problematic if you mix the real name and the virtual host
name.

Sometimes the errors show up in only a few modules, due to the way
urls are encoded.  Strange, I admit, but been my experience.
