Within Firefox 9 & 10 using Firebug and Live Headers,
I am seeing the websocket request/response pairs being sent across domains but with the wrong Cookie: contents.
Give two urls -
Base web page - http://www.mysite.test/mywebapp
Websocket url - http://stompeserver.mysite.test/stomp
The browser seems to be sending the cookies for the base page hostname rather any cookies associated with the secondary hostname. i.e. the JSESSIONID cookie loaded with the base web page is being echoed to the external connection.
Is this a bug or expected behavior? Nowhere have I seen how to websockets are suppose react to cookies.
IMO, this can be a really serious security violation by exposing a site's cookies to an external websocket service.
Updated to firefox 10 and still see an issue.
Below is a slightly clarified Live Headers trace of two back to back connections
The JSESSIONID and CLIENT_LOCALE cookies are copied to from 9443 the app server to 61623 the mq server.

Same-origin policy and CORS doesn't apply to WebSockets.
With WS, a "origin" HTTP header is sent in the initial WS opening handshake, and for browsers, this origin header MUST contain hostname of the server that originally served the HTML/JS that opens the WS.
The WS server is then free to accept/deny.
With non-browser WS clients, the origin header may or may not be present, and may contain anything.
Cookies: it's not specified by the WS spec. See Patrick's response (Firefox WS developer) here

I have a question about windows authentication with IIS and HttpListner
I have following setup (All installed in same windows 8.1 box. No outside communication). All requests are sent as http://localhost/......
IIS
ASP.Net web application authentication
Anonymous: Disabled
Windows Authentication: Enabled
.Net httpListener
running as a Service run as local System Account. and enabled windows authentication
this.httpListener = new HttpListener();
this.httpListener.AuthenticationSchemes = AuthenticationSchemes.IntegratedWindowsAuthentication;
UWP Application (Windows 8.1)
UWP Application is just like a web browser. It has WebView control to see web contents.
Following capabilities enabled
Enterprise Authentication
Internet (Client)
Location
Private Networks (Client & Server)
Problem
When I navigate from the uwp app to the IIS web app it is asking for the credentials by popping up windows dialog. This is annoying for the user experience perspective because user is logged in with same credencials. But When I access Http Listener it is authenticate correctly and no credentials dialog.
Also I checked the requests through fiddler. Initial request is identical, but with next steps for IIS request, it is continuously asking for NTLM.

Does anyone have similar experience or explanation for this ?
I'm stumped, my website was working fine and now on Firefox suddenly the redirects stopped working.
I've tested IE and Chrome and going to /login redirects me to /dashboard however on Firefox the page is blank (no output sent) and no errors are logged. So this is why I'm assuming it to be a browser related issue. It might be due to a firefox update, but not sure how to confirm that.
Here are the headers:

It all looks pretty standard to me, however FF stays stuck on /login Am I missing something?
This behaviour is both on my local windows host and my remote amazon Linux web-server. The body is empty...
How could I go about debugging this?
The Expires header field in the response is really off. Firefox probably does not bother to render stale responses.
Please check the system time in your server. It is possible it is an Amazon problem, but it is also possible that one of the server users set the system time.
You can look into setting up a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client to run regularly (with ntpd), if you don't have that yet.
I would fire up Fiddler to see what bits actually went over the wire. Among other information, Fiddler will show what content type is actually used during the HTTP request / response.
This could be related to the fact that there is no extension. Firefox could be having trouble determining if this is a document or folder. Try firebug and see what URL Firefox tries to request after the redirect.
I'm trying to get Firefox to allow me to make an XmlHttpRequest for data from an application port.
I can see that the initial send triggers an OPTIONS message, and I have trapped this using NetMon, and I can see the HTTP fields...
OPTIONS /any.htm HTTP/1.1

Origin: http://www.mysite.co.uk
Access-Control-Request-Method: POST
Access-Control-Request-Headers: content-type
Connection: keep-alive
Pragma: no-cache

I respond to this with an OK to tell FireFox to get a move on and send me the data in the XHR request...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST,-GET,-OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Max-Age: 172800000
Server: Kawasu-OrderSub
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:00:50 GMT
But the POST is never sent, which I assume means that FireFox is not happy with the 200 OK response. The POST sends data with a Content-Type of "application/json"
I've got FireBug and the Net tab has the XHR button, but this will only show the XHR after the pre-flight check has been passed.
Main Question: How can I see (and debug) what FireFox does not like about the server response?
Much obliged for any help in advance.
You need to include the Access-Control-Allow-Headers: content-type response header. This is because the request has the Access-Control-Request-Headers: content-type header, and this value needs to be included in the response.
I've encountered quite unexpected problem using Tomcat and CAS authorization. I just cannot logout in Firefox. I'm redirected to the logout page, but as soon as I reenter application url in the address bar, it is opened as if I'm logged (and I'm logged actually!).
First I've take a notable amount of attempts to fix something in tomcat config, then I've read logs, but nothing helped me actually before it comes up to my mind to check logout behavior in other browsers.
In other browsers everything work just as expected.
And I'm just stuck and would appreciate if one will give me a hint.
I guess [this question][1] is in some way relative with mine, but, helas, disabling caching on the page which should me logouted doesn't help either.
UPD: Some debug information. Firefox's version is 7.0.1, unfortunately, it is not a public application and I can not provide any url. It looks like response.sendRedirect output is something that Firefox is missing. Here is minimal code that works in any browser except Firefox.
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect("https://app:8552/cas/logout");

According to the headers, you're maintaining two different sessions on two different hosts. When you request a logout on the first host, you're redirected to the second host (which uses a different session cookie). The session cookie of the second host is in turn indeed invalidated (according to the presence of the Set-Cookie header). But based on the last request, the session has not been recreated on the server side (there is no Set-Cookie header). This means that session.invalidate() before response.sendRedirect() has failed somehow, or that the page is actually requested from the browser cache.
In Firebug you should be able to see if the page is requested from the browser cache by checking the text color of the request in the Net tab. If it's grayed out, then it means that it's been served from the browser cache. For Firefox, the must-revalidate header is actually mandatory next to the no-cache, no-store headers. You need to configure your server to add that entry to the header, or to change/create a Filter for that.

How to control web page caching, across all browsers?
How can I convince Firefox (3.0.1, if it matters) to send an If-Modified-Since header in an HTTPS request? It sends the header if the request uses plain HTTP and my server dutifully honors it. But when I request the same resource from the same server using HTTPS instead (i.e., simply changing the http:// in the URL to https://) then Firefox does not send an If-Modified-Since header at all. Is this behavior mandated by the SSL spec or something?
Here are some example HTTP and HTTPS request/response pairs, pulled using the Live HTTP Headers Firefox extension, with some differences in bold:

UPDATE: Setting browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl to true did the trick (which is odd because, as Nickolay points out, there's still the memory cache). Adding a "Cache-control: public" header to the response also worked. Thanks!
HTTPS requests are not cached so sending an If-Modified-Since doesn't make any sense. The not caching is a security precaution.
The not caching on disk is a security pre-caution, but it seems it indeed affects the If-Modified-Since behavior (glancing over the code).
Try setting the Firefox preference (in about:config) browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl to true. If that helps, try sending Cache-Control: public header in your response.
UPDATE: Firefox behavior was changed for Gecko 2.0 (Firefox 4) -- HTTPS content is now cached.
HTTPS requests are not cached so sending an If-Modified-Since doesn't make any sense. The not caching is a security precaution.
