We are trying to read the cookie information from the browser settings and act on that information.But we are facing a problem here.The cookie set by our test server webpage is different from the test server of the client,though in effect we both are accessing the same page.The only difference is we tested in our server using IE, and on the client side we had to use Mozilla.If my explanation of the problem is clear,what i wanted to know is 'can the browser type(ie Vs Mozilla) affect the way the cookie is set?'.Pardon me i am new to apache and it is all learning on the job for me.
The only time I've seen MSIE and Firefox treat cookies differently was when somebody had mistakenly used a local dns name with an underscore '_' in it. MSIE, ignored the underscore in the name and so the hostname as seen by the two browsers differed. As a result, only Firefox returned the cookie to the server. It could be argued that MSIE was doing the right thing. -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
