If it happens "sometimes" perhaps you are running code that has or hasn't changed the cookie parameters to allow the session ID to travel over secure/insecure HTTP. It's also possible that you have *another* session going in HTTPS sometimes, so it only picks up the HTTP one when there isn't already an active session from another application on HTTPS... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
