title: Magento session lost when switching to https from http
body: <p>I've searched high and low for a solution to this, with no luck. My host told me they are too busy to help.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Magento 1.4.2 // SSL cert</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>1- When I add an item to cart, the page reloads and my item is added to cart. [good]</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TnMaK.png" alt=""></p>
  
  <p>2- Next, I click home, and my items are no longer visible in cart sidebar. [bad]</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sGMKl.png" alt=""></p>
  
  <p>3- Next, I click "Tops", and my items are still not visible in cart sidebar. [bad]</p>

  <p>4- Next , I click "Bottoms" and the items show just fine.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rambu.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>In all cases where the cart isn't visible, I can add https to the URL and the cart loads up just fine. Can anyone help me figure out why my session is being lost between http and https?</p>
  
  <p>I have all my backend web cookie settings set to "no" except for sID.</p>
  
  <p>Also- When a user is logged in, the cart items ALWAYS show on the right. It's only screwy if they're a guest.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks guys, if you need me to post any code let me know.</p>

  <p>EDIT: Here is a screenshot of my cookies session in firebug (not exactly sure what I am looking at). Hope this helps.

  <p>And here is my Session settings in magento: I have tried just about every variation of turning these on and off.</p>

  <p>EDIT! </p>
  
  <p>This issue has actually been narrowed down to a cache issue. We found out that when the cache is dumped/deleted, the website works properly. But after a few minutes of surfing the problem happens again. Does anyone have any idea? (And should i change the question title?)</p>
  
  <p>I'm using a module called Lightspeed from TinyBrick, and it seems the new cache options are messing with our site. =( I'm contacting them shortly.</p>
  
  <p>**EDIT Tinybricks excellent support helped us out. Thanks for all of your suggestions.</p>
