Description

The session cookie can end up being non-secure on HTTPS in a specific set of circumstances:

1. Set GUI to HTTPS
2. Logout
3. Close browser
4. Login again -- Cookie is set secure
5. Switch GUI to HTTP
6. Firewall forces a new login
7. Login -- Cookie is not secure (and can't be, since it's HTTP)
8. Switch GUI back to HTTPS
9. User remains logged in, but the cookie is still set non-secure.

We should invalidate sessions after any protocol switch to force a new login/fresh cookie.

does this still happen with the recent GUI fixes in 2.1.4?

Unfortunately, yes. I found this on a 2.1.4 image while confirming that the other bugs had been fixed.

Using "2.2-ALPHA (amd64) built on Fri Aug 15 14:31:24 CDT 2014". I can confirm that this now works as expected. After step eight, I'm redirected to the login screen, and after login, the PHPSESSID cookie is secure.
