Curious - is this likely a cookie issue?

I believe some of the session behavior is handled with cookies, so I'm thinking that that's the root of this issue.

I have a simple site running and as a part of the pages, I set a couple of session variables. Everything runs fine, but one night I was in a hotel room that had free broadband access via a cable connection near the desk. All sites and pages seemed to work fine until I tried one of the pages that set a session variable and those pages caused an immediate tomcat error screen to display.

At this point I must admit sheepishly that I was tired enough that after calling a friend to try the site from their home and ensuring that the pages were not in fact broken, but only my hotel connection was, I headed to bed and left without recording what the error trace was saying, so I'm asking a question like a dumb user with no specific description of the error message. But perhaps someone would like to expound on the workings of session variables in the background anyway.

If not, perhaps it's still an observation someone can find via searching that will help them someday. If it happens to you have someone else who has a normal connection (or a different computer configuration) check the pages.

Thanks!
