Nonetheless, I think I have explored the avenue you suggested and this problem is not related to the secure path issue unless the fact that the path shown on the CGISESSID cookie: .www.jala-mi.org.

Yes the extra dot could very well be the problem

since you seem to use firefox do you know of the web developer section under tools? open a new window, click tools-web developer-network. now enter https://www.jala-mi.org/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/manage_users.cgi?action=GetLoginForm into the address bar and press return. watch the fields get filled in in the network section. now click on the get manage_users.cgi?action=GetLoginForm line. new tabs open on the right. click on cookies. you can navigate your form in the top window, and look at the cookies sent and received in that window. A very interesting utility.

but i just figured out your problem with no cookies. it took me pasting the line here to see it. ill paste it again https://www.jala-mi.org/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/manage_users.cgi?action=GetLoginForm. look close, look closer, closer again. WHAT IS THE PATH to manage_users.cgi? does that look like /cgi-bin? no huh. that path is /httpsdocs/cgi-bin isnt it?

why you are linking to /httpsdocs/cgi-bin i cannot say. i notice that https://www.jala-mi.org/cgi-bin/manage_users.cgi?action=GetLoginForm give me a 404. but i can say that the path you are running the login form from IS NOT /cgi-bin like your set cookie of -path=>'/cgi-bin' is setting
