0000048: Cookies are Set in non-SSL mode for SSL connections
When secure connection to server is established (url like "https://..."), then cookies should be set with "secure" parameter given to "setcookie" function. This doesn't happen. Maybe today this works because of insecurely set cookies are also available in secure connection.

It looks like it works exactly as I've suspected. And still should we do something about it in our case? Only place when we have SSL<->NON-SSL redirects is Front-End and there SessionKey is passed in GET and no cookies are used.

This is no longer issue, because I've determined case, when we actually use cookie set in non-ssl mode on ssl connection and via versa.

This is case, when whole website is in non-ssl mode, but login page is.
