I think I&#180;ll do that:

Startpage->choose customer or dealer (/htdocs/start) no sessionID-> klick on dealer
(/cgi-bin/link/dealer)-> type in ID:password (basic authentication) -> shop around, insert
items into shopping cart -> click on "show shopping cart" (only vissible if items are in the
cart) this link uses SSL -> shopping cart is empty ("show shopping cart" dissapears) ->
frustration.

I tried also:

Startpage->choose customer or dealer (/cgi-bin/link/start)-> klick on dealer
(/cgi-bin/link/dealer/start)-> type in ID:password (basic authentication) -> shop around,
insert items into shopping cart -> click on "show shopping cart" (only vissible if items are
in the cart) this link uses SSL -> shopping cart is empty ("show shopping cart" dissapears) ->
frustration.

What is my mistake?

Thank you.
