Description
No necessarily a bug in CI, but a problem none the less.
IE8’s user agent string can change when moving between sites, causing the CI session to be destroyed.
See http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/121637/
Not sure what you would do about this, apart from defaulting
$config[‘sess_match_useragent’] = FALSE;
or commenting the config to make coders aware.

This is not specific to IE8. I am experiencing this in Firefox 3.5.5 after setting session data and immediately using redirect(). |

In my experience this is either caused by the user agent problem mentioned above, or you are not setting the cookie domain in config correctly otherwise it will be a third-party cookie. I don’t think this is a bug, it’s IE’s default settings that won’t accept third party cookies with certain data contained in them (I think). Jake |

I believe I resolved this by looking closely at where I was redirecting (although it’s been several months). Turns out, my cookie was for ‘www’ whereas I was redirect to ‘domain.com’. So more likely a bug with the developer. |
