Subject: ELOG with stunnel won't show logbook 
Hi,

I have an ELOG installation on a RedHat linux server, called myserver. I 
can connect to this server with the following entries in the elogd.cfg file:
   [global]
   URL=http://myserver:8080
This works fine. I can log in, select logbooks, edit/create entries etc. 
etc.

However, I want this connection to be encrypted. So I activate stunnel (v4) 
in such a way that stunnel listens to port 8081 and forwards to the 
("remote") port 8080, which is the "original" elog port. I change the URL= 
entry in de elogd.cfg file to URL=https://myserver:8081 in order to use the 
SSL encrypted connection.

At this time, when I connect to https://myserver:8081 I get the 
welcome/login screen, but when I enter the (correct) username and password, 
the elog program does not show the contents of the logbook buts shows the 
loginscreen again. If I enter a wrong username/password, I do get a correct 
error-screen. So it seems that the connection is correct, but there is some 
sort of problem in ELOG. Anyone who can give me a hand here?
