Good idea.  I've been thinking about developing a special logging marker (probably a wrapper) where I can  inject text into the logs at certain places in the code so i can narrow down these kinds of issues.

BTW,  once I made my cookie paths  match my HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER, etc, things got way better.  Since everything is located in the same directory and the only difference is the S in  HTTPS then it makes sense for everything to be set to the exactly the same directories. I dont know why that is; it just seems to work. BUT  I had a customer last might who couldnt log in after creating an account. Everybody else can.  He didnt complain about seeing the "cookies are off" page.  So I am stumped as to why sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.  I wonder if its browser dependent?  

Also, how tested is MS2?   How many are running it?
