I’m using Spring Security 3.0.5 for authentication and I’m using remember-me as well. Currently, the login page is a https page and the page that I redirect to afte successfully authentication is a http page. I use to have everything under https, but we have a few things on our site which wont operate under https in IE8, so I thought I would try this route. The below debug log seems to indicate that the cookie can’t be written from https to http, is there a way to accomplish this?
Debug Trace:

It is possible by changing the cookie with a filter, I have answered this question here
