mod_rewrite eats my cookies!

[TwinkleToes]

A classic tabloid headline, no?

I have a module which uses a temporary cookie to store the session ID.

The URL host/module/info shows me the current ID as a web page.

I use the following rules for mod_rewrite:

RewriteRule ^/info$ /module/info [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^/$ /module/info [PT,L]

If I browse to host/, I get the same session ID every time I refresh (good!)

If I browse to host/info, I get a _new_ session ID every time I refresh (not good!)

Is mod_rewrite screwing up or removing the cookie?
Or is the cookie dependent on the URL? If so, why does it work for the root path?

TwinkleToes,

Probably an interaction with mod_dir. mod_dir provides the name of the index file if one is not specified in the URL, such as the case where domain.com/ is requested, and appends a trailing slash when the request contains only domain.com or domain.com/directory_name with no trailing slash. This is done with a redirect, but I'm not sure how it will interact with the agent (program or module, you didn't say) which issues your cookies.
