7183	sessionid broken by jsession	mbeattie	nobody	"I was trying to use a django setup on a machine that used to have a j2ee setup and whenever I tried to use any of the session 

functionality it would give an error saying that the key I was looking for wasn't found.  I figured out that the problem is 

for some reason once a particular jsessionid is set, firefox will hold on to it forever for that host and always send it as 

part of the HTTP_COOKIE.  The way to fix it is to clear the cookies for that host.  I am not too sure what the real cause of 

this is or what belongs in HTTP_COOKIE, but I found a way to make it go away by modifying wsgi.py.  It seems that django only 

cares about the sessionid part of that header so that's all I grabbed.  Someone more knowledgeable about why this happens 

might have something better.
