Error description

• When the proxy makes a request from the RUI which contains a
  cookie header and the proxy receives a 302 redirect from the
  server which contains a new Set-Cookie header, the proxy follows
  the 302 by making a new request to the server. However, this new
  request only contains the cookies from the Set-Cookie header of
  the 302 response. The second request from the proxy should
  contain all cookies, with the new values returned by the server
  Set-Cookie overriding any cookie values
  originally sent by the RUI.
