I have an internal site at the following file path: /home/http/kbmls/ and since /home/http is the document root, the site is referenced as follows: http://bart.johnson.com/kbmls. bart.johnson.com is my internal domain (locally resolved host). The default page is kbmlsLoader.py, which is symlinked from /home/tim/prj/cgi/baker/kbmls so that I can used both traditional cgi and a 'clean URL'. I find that the cookie set by the first request to the site http://bart.johnson.com/kbmls is not being transmitted. IOWS: A check for the cookie on a second request does not find it, even though I can verify that the cookie is set on my system. It is likely that something is wrong with my .htaccess file Code: ############################################################ AcceptPathInfo On Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script py DirectoryIndex kbmlsLoader.py RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /kbmls RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} lang=([^;]+) [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?lang=%1 [NC,L,QSA] RewriteCond $1 !^(kbmlsLoader\.py|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./kbmlsLoader.py/$1 [L,QSA] ############################################################ What am I doing wrong? thanks tim -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
