Do the cookies have to be passed, on redirects, manually? I thought, 
like sessions, they'd be managed automatically (though that very well 
could be an erroneous assumption, on my part).

However, it had seemed, in what I was doing, that the session was no 
longer getting recognized during the process of the redirect when I set! 
a cookie right before calling the redirect.

When no cookie was set! and then the redirect called, the previously 
setup session worked, as expected.

Would this new ability to pass extra headers on redirects help with what 
seems, to me, an inconsistency in how established sessions are 
recognized/remembered?

Thanks!
