Is this the correct > syntax, or am I doing something wrong? > > <CFX_HTTP URL="#TRIM(ATTRIBUTES.URL)#" AddlHeaders="Cookie: > COOKIEONE=1" DEBUG> I've never used CFX_HTTP, but I do know that the actual HTTP response header should look like this: Set-Cookie: CFID=10959; expires=Sun, 27-Sep-2037 00:00:00 GMT; path=/; You'd use "Cookie: ..." in an HTTP request header coming from the browser. As a side note, I'd like to emphasize how important it is, as CGI programmers (which is what CF developers are), to have a thorough understanding of the HTTP protocol, as well as to understand how to debug problems with HTTP requests and responses. One nice thing about HTTP is that generally it's easy to figure out why something isn't working correctly, because HTTP requests and responses are plain text, and can be viewed using various tools. I've mentioned some of these things on the list before, such as telnet, netcat, CoolFusion's HTTP analyzer, and Tim Meadowcroft's Perl HTTP recording proxy: http://www.l0pht.com/~weld/netcat/ http://www.coolfusion.com/http.htm http://www.compansr.demon.co.uk/ There are lots of others as well. No matter which tool you use, you can usually get to the bottom of HTTP problems pretty quickly, as long as you can see what's actually being passed around, and what it should look like. Of course, it's a little harder if you're using SSL to encrypt HTTP data, but even then, there are tools that will let you see what's being passed back and forth in certain controlled conditions (although those tools can be pretty expensive).
