That is a strange URL, but if it works, fine. :-)

Oops?
The popup makes the session go away?
My first guess would be to investigate that popup thing.
Your redirection html file has nothing to do with it (I expect).

If you go to the side, does the same popup also make the session disappear?

Another thing: How can the popup delete the session? Are you the one who
owns this code and can you hunt down the problem from there?

The only thing I can think of is that the code that resides in the pop-up
code (or associated with) is responsible for ending the session.

Another more farfetched senario would be that javascript deletes the cookie
that contains the sessionid.
But then again: If it is your code, you would know...
