After clicking a button in my application with webdriver, it gives me “sorry..your session has been expired” in IE8 and i am unable to proceed. But I am able to do it manually.

Now to proceed with webdriver automation i have to login into my application manually first, then it doesnt give me that session expired error.

Problem is my application only works on IE. This issue is a showstopper now.

Now i am confused, is this an IE issue (some cookie handling) or webdriver provides some support for session or cookie handling?

I am using selenium version selenium-java-2.24.1 and IE driver version IEDriverServer_Win32_2.25.3.

Thanks
