Bug #18082: Session Problems with IE6 after installation of Patch Q321232

From: lance@metaldog.co.za Operating system: RedHat 7 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Session Problems with IE6 after installation of Patch Q321232 Hey, Anyone having problems with session variables not being passed or IE resetting session cookies AFTER the installation of the IE6 Q321232 patch? It is the cumulative security patch released May 15 from Microsoft. I am using Virtual Hosts on standalone Apache 1.3.24 (RedHat), Apache/1.3.12 (FreeBSD) and PHP 4.1.2 or PHP 4.2.1. PHP.ini on both systems identical, httpd.conf identical... I am using the example session scripts from the PHP manual - the ones that do a simple page count - before the IE patch, everything works on any system. (track_vars always on, register_globals on or off makes no difference) After the patch IE6 only works on some installations of the exact code and I have not been able to trace the problem. Interestingly, on one server where it does not work - Redhat on a local network, IE now seems to be requesting or auto receiving a new session cookie each time the page loads. The exact same example scripts work from a totally different server to the same IE browsers. All other browsers work fine - even pre patch IE6 and previous versions.. This includes Netscape 4, 6, 6.1, Opera 4,6, IE 4,5, 5.5 and even IE6 before the patch. I have tested this on 3 different installations of IE6 on different systems... The moment the patch is installed it goes belly up... before the patch everything works perfectly... Any ideas?
