Is there any special considerations for woa apps where some pages are
served using http and others https and where the app uses automatic
redirects when the transition form one page to another dictates a
schema switch?
I guess in termination, we need to be killing the cookie by
replacement with a empty wosid cookie, if so what about the isSecure
constructor parameter (since logout is available on every page from
the PageWrapper)? ... just check the current response and decide with
that?

Pros of Cookies
1) stateful DA urls are bookmarkable without junk in them
2) people love to send eachother URLs and nothing sucks worse than
when they don't understand that it's a huge security risk to
include your session id
3) You can navigate back and forth between your app and static pages
and not lose your session
Cons of Cookies
1) opening multiple windows on your app is a lot more annoying
because they will share the same set of cookies (so you can't
easily login as two different people in dev mode)
2) if you have any issues with host names (you probably have other
problems if this is the case), you can lose your cookies if the
host name changes on you

What are the benefits of using SessionIDs in cookies over
WebObjects' default sessionID in URL strategy?
