Hi,
I don't see how this behaviour could be related to a browser version - all
browsers behave (should behave?) identically when requesting a page... they
simply issue a MIME request, like
GET /?PHPSESSIONID=aasdasdasdasdasdasd HTTP/1.0
Host: www.yourhost.com
The message you see looks disturbing to me - is the session.save_path value
actually set to /home/globstag/tmp? Does Apache (or else) have all
necessary rights to this directory?
_MAYBE_ you're using some mod_rewrite rules on the target server, depending
on the user agent, so IE's would end up in a defunct installation?
I'd check for this inn the first place.
