I'm having a "new" problem with my application now that it's rolled into production, one we didn't (couldn't) catch in development and testing. Let me explain:
The first time a user comes to our website we immediately convert an url string variable into a session variable, query based on that variable, and move the user invisibly into our app. For security reasons it is imperative that we have no variables in the url string. Furthermore, we must have the application.cfm check for the existance of appropriate session vars and err the user out if they are not set so a user cannot bookmark a page and re-enter later without the vars. For some reason, the first (and ONLY the first) time a user comes to our site the session variables don't get set properly and the user gets the "no session established" error. If that same user immediately re-enters our site their session is established. Also, even if they reboot the machine and come back 3 days later they won't have trouble creating a session. The problem is ONE TIME only.
Any thoughts on this one? We do use 2 application.cfm files in the process, the first which allows the converting of the url string, effectively creating the session vars and passing the user into the first used page of the app, and the second (one folder down) which checks for the session existance. I have a call into Allaire on this but so far no one there can explain why this is happening either (5+ days on the hunt for them) Please note that NO cookies are involved either.
Thanks for any thoughts on this weird one.
