Using the browser developer tools, on the subsequent navigations, see if
(a) the browser is sending the session cookie to the server and (b) the
server is sending *the same* session cookie back. If you are transitioning
from http to https and have either set session.secure() or
request.requires_https(), the original session cookie will not be returned
to the server. Also, if you transition from being logged in to being logged
out, the session will be cleared by default.
