Session variables and SSL

Hi i am new to asp and am having problems accessing a session variable on a
secure page (https) the session varaible was created on a non-secure page
and when i go i can see that it is still there, so the session is being
abandoned, just it is not viewable. I have also noticed the the opposite
also happens, ie a session variable created on a secure page is not viewbale
on a non-secure page ....

Please help. Many thanks in advance

Perhaps consider creating some long querystrings with all the needed
info.

Session variables can not be maintained across protocols (http <-> https),
so you must use the querystring or a database to maintain state.
