Session Problems due to browserconfig.xml

Hi All,

We noticed a strange behavior where users reported that their session is timing out abruptly. On debugging the issue, we found the following behavior.

When the user keeps working on different sections of the application, the same CAKEPHP session id is being send as a part of the header (we got it through apache logs).

But there is a 404 request to browserconfig.xml. We don't have this file in our root. 

When this call is made, a 404 response is given back, but the cakephp also gives back a new session id. The next request from this user comes with this new id and it finds this to be a session missing and logs the user out of the system.

What could be the reason for this??
